About this map

Clam Lake Oil Field sits at the heart of this coastal landscape, where industrial extraction meets the expansive wetlands of the Texas Gulf Coast. The terrain is defined by a complex network of brackish waters and marshlands, including Clam Lake, Salt Lake, and the winding Salt Bayou. These waterways served as critical components of the local drainage and transport system long before the establishment of modern conservation areas.

Conservation and recreation are represented by the presence of Sea Rim State Park and the stretch of McFaddin Beach, highlighting the transition from industrial utility to coastal preservation. Remote features like Dipping Vat Ponds and Tenmile Cut suggest a history of local land use and water management tailored to the unique challenges of the Jefferson County shoreline. The map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure supporting both the energy industry and the natural habitats of the Gulf Of Mexico.
