1943 Map of Cedar Lakes East

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The San Bernard River reaches its Gulf terminus on this wartime survey of the Texas coast, revealing a landscape defined by saltwater marshes and navigational engineering. The Intracoastal Waterway cuts a straight path through the sprawling Cedar Lakes, maintaining a Project Depth 12 Feet for vital coastal traffic, while the winding Old Intracoastal Waterway remains visible nearby. Human presence is concentrated in small pockets of high ground, including the Hotel and the settlement of Owen. Of particular interest to genealogists is the Ducroz Cem, situated near the riverbanks. The survey also notes technical features of the coastal water table, including an Artesian Well, reflecting the practical resource management of this marshy Brazoria County shoreline during the early 1940s.
