About this map

The Colorado River dominates the eastern edge of this coastal Matagorda County landscape, where the main channel and the W Br Colorado River carve through the lowlands around Selkirk Island and Wild Cow Island. Central to the modern character of this area is the massive Cooling Water Reservoir, a prominent industrial feature serviced by a network of private roads including W STP Rd and STP Rd. The surrounding terrain is defined by its complex drainage patterns, with numerous sloughs such as Johnsons Timber Slough, Compress Slough, and Willow Dam Slough winding through the fields. Local family and ranching heritage is visible in the naming of rural routes like Bieri Rd, Vacek Rd, and the Rio Veijo Ranch House Rd, indicating the long-standing agricultural use of this river-delta region.
