About this map

Peterson Landing and the industrial installation of the Amoco Chemical Company define the northern portion of this coastal Brazoria County landscape. The map details a complex hydrologic network where Chocolate Bayou and Cottonwood Bayou feed into the broader waters of Chocolate Bay. Navigation and commerce are central to the area's layout, evidenced by the Horseshoe Bend Marina and the various landings along the winding waterways.

The namesake Hoskins Mound rises in the southwest near the small settlement of Hoskins, providing a topographical anchor for a region otherwise dominated by low-lying wetlands and salt marshes. Features such as Humble Cut and Grassy Point illustrate the managed nature of the Texas shoreline in the early 21st century, showing how industrial development and natural bayous coexist. The map also traces the path of FM 2004 Rd as it cuts across the marshland toward the coast.
