About this map

Green Lake dominates this coastal Texas landscape, situated within a complex network of waterways and managed drainage systems. This 2022 survey illustrates the modern configuration of the area's wetlands, including the extensive GBRA Diversion Canal and Operating Basin Number 5, which reflect the region's sophisticated water management infrastructure. Small inland settlements like Heyser and the community at Green Lake are connected by a grid of rural roads such as Sparks Rd and Wilborn Rd, serving the local ranching and agricultural interests.

Near the northwestern shore, the Green Lake Ranch Airport serves as a key landmark for local aviation. The surrounding terrain is defined by natural drainage features like Black Bayou, Hog Bayou, and Steerings Bayou, which filter into the larger lake system. Researchers can trace the proximity of these natural bayous to human-made structures, observing how land use has adapted to the fluctuating coastal environment near West Point.
