About this map

Green Lake dominates the coastal landscape of Calhoun County in this 2019 survey, illustrating the complex intersection of natural hydrology and industrial water management. The settlement of Heyser sits at a transport junction north of the water, while the GBRA Diversion Canal and Operating Basin Number 5 show the modern infrastructure utilized to manage the region's resources.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the family names and rural routes that define the area, including Welder Ranch Rd and Wilder Farm Rd. The map details the transition from the open waters of the lake to the marshy networks of Black Bayou, Schwing Bayou, and Hog Bayou to the southwest. Aviation history is noted at the Green Lake Ranch Airport, while geographic points like West Point and the drainages of W Coloma Cr and E Coloma Cr provide a thorough view of this low-lying Texas coastal prairie.
