About this map

The San Bernard River defines the winding boundary between Austin and Colorado Counties, carving a path through a landscape of ranching and light aviation. The small settlement of Beard sits near the eastern edge, while the interior is marked by private airstrips like Mario's Flying Pizza Airport and Renz Ranch Airport. This territory is heavily dissected by seasonal watercourses, including the long reaches of Coushatta Cr and Middle Bernard Cr. Local land use is reflected in distinctive road names such as Prairie Chicken Rd and Tree Farm Rd, suggesting the historical environmental and economic character of this prairie region. Wetlands and oxbow features like Refuge Lake and Plowden Lake are concentrated along the river corridor, highlighting the hydrologic complexity of the coastal plain.
