2013 Map of Arizona Creek

About this map

Ducat Settlement and Vanva Settlement anchor this portrait of the Liberty County hinterlands, where small communities persist amidst a landscape defined by sluggish waterways and thick timber. The drainage of Arizona Cr and the winding Pine Island Bayou dictate the area's geography, feeding into wetlands like Black Land Slough and Mayhaw Slough. Evidence of the region’s long-standing connection to the petroleum industry is visible through labels like Omniex Oil and the E Batson Mainline, while the Big Thicket Loblolly conservation area preserves a piece of the native ecosystem. The road network, including the evocative Old School House Rd and Buzzard Rd, suggests a rural life organized around old property lines and natural drainages like Batiste Cr and Long Island Cr.
