About this map

Caney Creek and Cedar Lake Creek wind through the coastal lowlands of the Texas Gulf Coast, defining a landscape of complex hydrology and agricultural drainage. This 2016 survey highlights the intricate network of water bodies such as Linnville Bayou, Lake Bowie, and Dead Slough that characterize the area around the settlement of Cedar Lane. The terrain is notably flat, including the aptly named Ash Flat, with numerous small ponds and wetlands scattered between the primary creek channels.

Local history is grounded in the presence of Hawkinsville and the Jaden Cemetery, which sit among a grid of rural routes like Farm-to-Market Road 457. The map also traces the boundary between Brazoria and Matagorda counties as it follows the irregular path of the local waterways. This document provides a clear view of the modern rural infrastructure, showing how family-named roads like Williams Road and Rayburn Road connect the isolated lakes and prairies.
