About this map

Green Lake dominates this coastal landscape, serving as a massive natural focal point within the Guadalupe Delta Wildlife Management Area. The map illustrates a complex hydraulic environment where natural waterways like Goff Bayou and Black Bayou meet man-made interventions, including the Victoria Barge Canal and various drainage systems like the Diversion Canal. This intersection of marshland and infrastructure is further defined by the Road on Levee systems that protect the low-lying terrain.

Energy extraction and transport are central to the region's character, anchored by the Heyser Gas Field and the small settlement of Heyser. Remnants of earlier transit are visible in the Old RR Grade running northwest, while modern industry is noted at North Seadrift. The presence of a Landing Strip and numerous storage bins suggests a landscape dedicated to balancing natural resource management with industrial output.
