2010 Map of China

About this map

The settlement of China sits at the heart of this Jefferson County landscape, where the coastal prairie meets an intricate network of water management. The northern reaches are defined by the meandering Pine Island Bayou and its tributary, Cotton Creek, while the surrounding plains are etched with the infrastructure of the Lower Neches Valley Authority Canal. This elaborate system of waterways and canals, including the Gallier Canal, illustrates the region's historic reliance on irrigation for agriculture, specifically indicated by local thoroughfares like Rice Field Rd. Small communities such as Westbury, Meeker, and Pine Island are connected by a grid of rural roads, including Old Beaumont Rd and Old Nome Rd. In the northeastern corner, the Stonecipher Airport stands as a local aviation landmark, serving the dispersed residential and agricultural properties that characterize this part of Southeast Texas.
