2010 Map of Fannett West

About this map

Jefferson County's coastal prairie landscape is defined here by the intricate drainage systems of the North Fork Taylor Bayou and South Fork Taylor Bayou. In the early 21st century, this region south of China illustrates the enduring connection between agricultural land use and the energy industry. The Gilbert Ranch Oil Field and Marrs Mclean Gas Field are prominent features, interspersed with rural settlements like Morey and Fannett. A network of ranch roads, including Deaton Ranch Rd and Heisig Rd, provides access to private estates and the Broussard Farm Airport. The map also reveals localized terrain features like Pignut Island and Green Pond Gully, which speak to the subtle elevation changes and hydrology characteristic of the Texas Gulf Coast plain.
