USGS Topo · Published 1920About this map
San Jacinto Battlefield anchors the southern landscape of this 1916 survey, sitting at the historic confluence where the Buffalo Bayou Ship Channel meets the San Jacinto River. The area is a complex network of bayous and oxbow lakes, including Lost Lake and Bear Creek, which reveal the shifting hydrology of the Texas coast before modern industrial expansion. The settlement of Lynchburg serves as a local hub, featuring the Lynchburg School and an Oil Pumping Station, signaling the era's emerging petroleum infrastructure.
