2016 Map of Bay City NE

About this map

Caney sits amidst a complex network of coastal wetlands and waterways on this 2016 survey along the border of Matagorda and Brazoria counties. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Caney Creek and numerous slow-moving water bodies such as Wildcat Slough, Dead Slough, and Linnville Bayou. For family historians, the area is notable for several small, dispersed burial grounds including Matthews Cem, Hudgins Cem, and Pleasant Green Cem, reflecting the rural settlement patterns of the Texas coastal plain. Infrastructure in the region is anchored by the Bay City Municipal Airport and a grid of secondary roads like FM 457 HWY. The topography reveals the intricate drainage system of the Gulf Coast, where Canoe Bayou and Live Oak Bayou thread through low-lying terrain near Coon Lake and the Hudgins Reservoir.
