About this map

The Beaumont city boundary defines the eastern reach of this coastal Texas landscape, where suburban growth meets active petroleum production. The western edge of the city is anchored by the Amelia settlement and the Beaumont Municipal Airport, showing a transition from dense residential blocks in neighborhoods like Calder Highlands and Calder Terrace to the industrial operations of the Amelia Field and South China Oil Field Gully.

Transportation corridors dominate the terrain, with the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad and Missouri Pacific lines carving through the drainage systems of Willow Marsh Bayou and Hillebrandt Bayou. Local genealogy is preserved in sites like the Hebert Cem and numerous neighborhood institutions, including French High Sch and All Saints Sch. Large recreational and social spaces like Tyrrell Park and Boys Haven provide distinct landmarks amid the network of canals and oil-related sludge pits.
