About this map

The winding oxbows of Caney Creek and Caney Bayou define the low-lying coastal landscape of this 1952 survey. The area is marked by a network of small, scattered settlements like Linnville, Gainesmore, and Hawkinsville, many centered around rural community pillars. Several houses of worship and education appear on this sheet, including Magnolia Sch, Kennedy Sch, and churches such as St Mark Ch and Grace Ch.

The presence of an Oil Well and multiple segments of Pipe Line reflect the mid-century industrial footprint in this part of the Texas coast. Significant hydraulic management is evident through the extensive Levee systems protecting the land near Cedar Lake Creek and the marshy expanses of Ash Flat. Genealogists may find particular interest in the Jaden Cem near the boundary between Brazoria Co and Matagorda Co.
