2016 Map of Ashwood

About this map

Sugar Valley and the surrounding coastal plains of Matagorda County are defined by a complex network of slow-moving water and agricultural bypasses. The landscape is etched with distinctive water features like Wildcat Slough, Grassy Slough, and the winding Linnville Bayou, which snakes across the Brazoria County line. Small rural centers such as Ashwood and Allenhurst are connected by a grid of county roads, while the presence of the Linnville Cr Reservoir and the Free System Cem near Van Vleck provide specific points of interest for local historians. The proximity to Old Ocean and the Old Ocean Swamp in the southeast corner reflects the transition toward the industrial and marshy reaches of the Texas Gulf Coast, where infrastructure like Peterson Airport serves the region's low-lying terrain.
