2019 Map of Hoskins Mound

About this map

Hoskins and the distinctive geological feature of Hoskins Mound anchor this coastal landscape where the Texas prairie meets the Gulf's complex aquatic margins. The geography is defined by a dense network of tidal channels including Chocolate Bayou, Berry Bayou, and New Bayou, which drain into the broad expanse of Chocolate Bay and West Bay. Human industry is clearly marked by the Intracoastal Waterway cutting through the marshlands and the industrial footprint of the Amoco Chemical Company near the bayou's edge. Navigational landmarks like Grassy Point, Horse Grove Point, and Shell Point trace the irregular shoreline, while the Humble Cut reflects local maritime engineering. This 2019 survey documents a landscape of salt marshes and managed waterways, illustrating how local roads like FM 2004 and Hoskins Mound Rd navigate the low-lying terrain between the bayous and the bay.
