2016 Map of Cedar Lakes East

About this map

Ducroz Cem stands near the banks of the San Bernard River, a key landmark for genealogists and local historians tracking coastal settlement patterns in Brazoria County. The landscape is dominated by the intricate salt marsh and lagoon systems of Cedar Lakes and Cowtrap Lakes, which are bisected by the modern Intracoastal Waterway. This 2016 survey illustrates the navigational transition of the region, showing the path of the Old Intracoastal Waterway as it meanders through the wetlands north of the Gulf of Mexico. The area is largely defined by its maritime geography, with FM 2918 Rd providing the primary overland access toward the river's mouth. The boundary between Brazoria and Matagorda counties is traced through the coastal waters, marking the southwestern edge of this littoral survey.
