About this map

The Cooling Water Reservoir dominates the southern landscape of this Matagorda County region, its massive footprint reflecting the industrial water needs of the South Texas Project. To the east, the Colorado River and the W Br Colorado River carve through the coastal prairie, feeding into a complex network of wetlands including Kelly Lake and Lake Le Tulle. Small settlements and family-named roads provide a human scale to the wide-open terrain. The rural community of Ashby is situated along Ashby Buckeye Rd near the banks of Wilson Cr, while the locality of Tin Top sits further south. The drainage patterns of the coastal plain are clearly marked by numerous waterways like Johnsons Timber Slough and Willow Dam Slough, illustrating the low-lying nature of the land near the Port of Bay City.
