About this map

Hillebrandt Bayou and its winding tributaries define the low-lying landscape of Jefferson County in this mid-1990s revision. The area shows a transition from rural agricultural land to industrial and recreational utility, marked by the extensive network of pipelines and drainage features like Pevitot Gully and Din Gully. Small communities such as Fannett, Cheek, and Galloway anchor the northwestern corner, while family history is preserved at Broussard Cem and Landrum Cem.

The presence of numerous Oil Wells and a large Chemical Plant reflects the region's long-standing petroleum economy. Meanwhile, leisure spaces such as the Port Arthur Country Club and the Rodeo Ground near Smith Road provide insight into the social character of the coastal prairie before further suburban expansion. Water management is central to the terrain, from the broad expanse of Lovell Lake to the siphons and filtration plants that move water across this gulf coast plain.
