About this map

Caney and the surrounding Matagorda County landscape are defined by a complex network of coastal waterways and family-named landmarks. The terrain is marked by the winding courses of Caney Cr and Linnville Bayou, which drain the low-lying coastal plains. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by agriculture and water management, featuring significant drainage features like Hardeman Slough, Wildcat Slough, and the extensive Canoe Bayou.

For family historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial grounds, including Boone Cem, Berean Cem, Williams Cem, and Pleasant Green Cem. The infrastructure of the area is supported by the Bay City Municipal Airport and a grid of rural routes such as FM-457 and FM-2540. The small settlement of Rugeley sits near the banks of Caney Cr, while the Hudgins Reservoir serves as a notable water management feature in the central part of the quadrangle.
