1964 Map of Cedar Lakes East

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The San Bernard River meets the Texas coast in this 1964 survey, revealing a landscape defined by the shifting boundaries of tidal marshes and industrial infrastructure. The coastal barrier system is punctuated by the expansive Cedar Lakes, which are sheltered from the Gulf of Mexico by narrow strips of sand and sediment. This era of the Brazoria coast shows the critical role of the Intracostal Waterway as it cuts behind the beachfront, facilitating maritime transit through the low-lying wetlands. Evidence of local family history is anchored by the Ducroz Cem located near the riverbanks, while the presence of a Pipeline indicates the growing petroleum industry influence on the coastal geography during the mid-20th century. The map provides an essential record of the shoreline before subsequent decades of erosion and development altered the mouth of the river.
