2013 Map of Hardin

About this map

Moss Hill and the Moss Hill Cem anchor the northern reaches of this coastal plain landscape, where scattered settlements and marshes define the local geography. The region's industrial character is clearly marked by the Hull Oil and Gas Field near the community of Hull, suggesting the enduring role of resource extraction in the Liberty County economy. Water dominates the lower elevations, with Walker Marsh and Long Island Cove providing natural drainage into Josie Bayou. A dense network of county roads connects older residential pockets like Tanner Settlement and Dowdel Settlement with the established town center of Hardin. The map reveals a transition from the upland prairies of Batiste Prairie and Mayhaw Prairie toward the more complex hydrologic systems and small reservoirs found as one moves south toward the Gulf coast drainage.
