About this map

The Colorado River and its West Branch dominate this coastal Texas landscape, where industrial infrastructure meets the low-lying wetlands of Matagorda County. The Port of Bay City is a central industrial feature, accompanied by an extensive network of levees and water management channels including STP Rd and Corporon Rd. This 2010 survey illustrates the sophisticated agricultural and industrial irrigation system essential to the region's economy.

Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by small settlements and family-named landmarks. The hamlets of Ashby, Simpsonville, and Tin Top are situated in the western portion of the quadrangle. Drainage patterns are defined by numerous named sloughs, such as Compress Slough, Johnsons Timber Slough, and Willow Dam Slough, which highlight the intricate hydrology of the prairie land surrounding Kelly Lake.
