2016 Map of China

About this map

Pine Island Bayou snakes across the northern landscape, defining the winding boundary between Hardin and Jefferson counties. This coastal prairie region is heavily shaped by water management, with the Lower Neches Valley Authority Canal and the Gallier Canal cutting through the terrain to support local agriculture. The settlement of China sits at a crossroads of traditional routes and modern infrastructure, where Old Hwy 90 parallels the newer highway corridor. To the east, the small communities of Pine Island and Meeker are surrounded by a dense network of drainage features like Green Pond Gully and Byrd Gully. In the northeast corner, Stonecipher Airport stands as a local aviation landmark, while the southern reach of the quadrangle is dominated by the sprawling wetlands around Bayou Din, illustrating the region's low-lying, hydrologically complex character.
