About this map

Lawhorn Woods dominates the center of this coastal prairie landscape, illustrating the intricate drainage network of Southeast Texas in the early 1960s. The area is defined by the convergence of the North Fork Taylor Bayou and South Fork Taylor Bayou, which feed into the larger Taylor Bayou. This watery terrain is further characterized by numerous gullies, including Pignut Gully, Pond Gully, and Vogel Gully.

Substantial industrial activity is evident through the extensive presence of oil and gas infrastructure. Large production zones such as the Gilbert Ranch Oil Field, Marrs McLean Gas Field, and Fannett Oil Field are interspersed with pipelines and individual wells. The settlement of Fannett sits at the eastern edge near the Colorado and Santa Fe railroad, while the small community of Morey appears to the south. Local transit is supported by rural routes like South China Road and Gilbert Road, marking the boundary between Jefferson and Chambers counties.
