The San Bernard River flows into the Gulf of Mexico along this stretch of the Texas coastline, where the modern and historic transport corridors meet the sea. The map documents the intricate transition from the Intracoastal Waterway to the older channel of the Old Intracoastal Waterway, illustrating the shifting navigable paths through the marshland. This area is defined by its expansive water features, including the Cedar Lakes and Cowtrap Lakes, which dominate the low-lying terrain. Human presence is concentrated along the riverbanks, where Bernard River RD and FM 2918 RD provide access to the river's mouth. Near the river, the Ducroz Cem serves as a significant genealogical marker for local families. The far eastern edge of the map captures a portion of Freeport, while the western boundary marks the transition between Brazoria Co and Matagorda County.
