2010 Map of Danbury

About this map

The coastal prairie landscape of Danbury is defined by a complex network of bayous and artificial water management structures as of 2010. The Danbury Dome Oil Field sits north of town, indicating the importance of subterranean resources to the local economy. Water control is a dominant feature of this Brazoria County terrain, with numerous named reservoirs and levees like the McCormack Reservoir Number Dam and Bieri Lakes regulating the flow of Austin Bayou and Brushy Bayou. These engineering works, including the Reservoir Number 17 Levee/McCullough Reservoir Complex Dam, suggest an intensive agricultural or industrial use of the surrounding plains. To the north, the Salaika Aviation Airport provides a small-scale aviation hub near the winding course of Flores Bayou. The grid of county roads, such as Hoskins Mound Rd and Peltier Rd, segments the land between natural drainage features like Eagle Gully and King Creek.
