About this map

The Trinity River dominates this landscape in Liberty County, carving a wide, serpentine path through an intricate network of wetlands and oxbow lakes. The small residential development of Dayton-Lakes sits on the river’s western bank, with streets like Nueces Dr and Trinity Rd providing a rare pocket of settlement amidst the dense hydrography. The area is defined by a complex system of waterways, including the winding Gillen Bayou, McMurtry Bayou, and Greens Bayou, which feed into various bodies of water such as Fitz Lake, Otter Lake, and Sand Lake.

Elevated terrain is represented by Capers Ridge, which offers a slight rise above the surrounding marshlands like Striplin Marsh and Prairie Marsh Gully. This 2019 survey documents a region where the natural movement of the river continues to shape the local geography, visible in the numerous "cutoff" lakes such as Hollins Lake and Stumpy Lake that line the river valley. The map also records the extensive network of county roads, such as Co Rd 2107 and FM 1011 Rd, that navigate the floodplains.
