2013 Map of Cedar Lakes East

About this map

The San Bernard River meets the Texas coast in this 2013 survey, where it flows past the Old Intracoastal Waterway before reaching the Gulf of Mexico. The landscape is dominated by complex estuarine systems, most notably the Cowtrap Lakes and Cedar Lakes. These shallow, brackish bodies of water represent a transitional environment where inland freshwater drainage mingles with coastal tides. Local history is anchored by the Ducroz Cem, located just north of the river's bend, providing a specific point of reference for genealogists tracking family ties to this corner of Brazoria County. Infrastructure is limited to rural routes like FM 2918 RD and Co RD 307, reflecting the area's preservation as a maritime and ecological corridor rather than a residential hub.
