About this map

Buna and the nearby community of Bessmay anchor this 2016 survey of southeastern Texas, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and bayous. The terrain transitions between the dense growth of Phillips Thicket and Farwell Baygall, reflecting the bottomland ecology of the region. Local hydrology is detailed through numerous named tributaries, including White Bay Br, Strawther Br, and the expansive Hollis Marsh along the eastern boundary.

Industrial and transit corridors are marked by the presence of Bessmay Rd and a sprawling grid of county roads that navigate the marshes. For those researching family history or local land use, the map identifies the Morse Cem nestled near Goode Br. This document records the interplay of rural settlement and the natural environment, from the waters of Cougar Country Lake to the drainage of Gum Slough.
