About this map

Sugar Valley and the surrounding Matagorda County coastal plains appear here in a period defined by longstanding agricultural roots and the petroleum industry. The landscape is heavily influenced by a complex network of waterways, including Caney Creek, Little Linnville Bayou, and Wildcat Slough, which drain the low-lying terrain. Industrial footprints are evident at the Sugar Valley Oil Field and the Phillips 66 Company facility near Old Ocean.

Local history and genealogy interests are centered on small settlements like Ashwood, Hasima, and Allenhurst, along with the Free System Cemetery located near Oak Forest Rd. The integration of water management and modern infrastructure is seen in the Linnville Creek Reservoir and its associated Linnville Creek Reservoir Dam. Roads like the Damon Black Ferry Rd hint at earlier transportation patterns across this bayou-carved region of Texas.
