Industrial infrastructure and coastal settlements define this region where the Old Brazos River meets the Gulf of Mexico. The town of Freeport and nearby Velasco sit at the heart of a complex network of man-made waterways and heavy industry, most notably the sprawling Dow Chemical Plant. This 2010 survey illustrates the deep integration of shipping and chemical production, with Brazos Harbor and the Intracoastal Waterway facilitating large-scale maritime transit.
