2013 Map of Fannett East

About this map

Fannett and La Belle anchor this coastal Texas landscape, where a dense network of water management features like the Gallier Canal and Jefferson Canal underscores the region's agricultural and industrial reliance on water control. The southeastern corner is defined by the extensive Lovell Lake Oil Field, signaling the importance of energy extraction alongside established settlements. Genealogists and local historians can locate several family-named burial sites, including Broussard Cem, Landrum Cem, and Hillebrandt Cem, which are scattered throughout the low-lying terrain. The map's drainage patterns are complex, featuring Willow Marsh Bayou, Bayou Din, and Taylor Bayou, which wind between rural holdings and smaller communities like Cheek and Galloway. Transport and utility infrastructure is evident through the presence of the Kelley Crop Service Airport, serving the local rice and crop fields that have long characterized this portion of Jefferson County.
