2010 Map of Cedar Lakes East

About this map

Ducroz Cemetery stands as a small landmark of local history on the banks of the San Bernard River, where the river meets the marshy coastal landscape of the Texas Gulf coast. This 2010 survey illustrates a complex hydraulic environment defined by the Intracoastal Waterway cutting through a network of shallow basins including Cedar Lakes and Cowtrap Lakes. The area is characterized by low-lying wetlands and tidal flats that separate the inland waterways from the open Gulf of Mexico. Infrastructure is sparse in this coastal reach, represented primarily by FM 2918 Rd and Bernard River Rd, which provide access to the riverbanks. The map documents the shifting interface of freshwater and saltwater systems at a time when preserving these estuaries was of increasing environmental focus.
