About this map

Trinity River marshlands and delta topography define this corner of Chambers County, where the transition from industrial development to coastal wetlands is marked by intricate bayous and oil fields. Near the Barbers Hill highlands, the Barbers Hill Schools and several neighborhood cemeteries, including Union Cem and Montgomery Cem, anchor the local community history. The landscape is heavily influenced by energy extraction, with the Lost Lake Oil Field and various Oil Wells scattered across the lowlands near Cotton Lake.

Transportation and infrastructure are prominent, featuring the RW Airpark and RW Port near the coast. The map meticulously documents the winding watercourses of Cross Bayou and Old River, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Texas Gulf Coast. From the settlement of Cove to the shores of Beach City, the survey provides a detailed look at the interface between the coastal prairie and the bay's edge during the mid-1990s.
