2019 Map of Jones Creek

About this map

Brazos River and San Bernard River outlets define this coastal landscape on the Texas Gulf, where industrial development meets a complex network of wetlands and bayous. The heavy industrial footprint of Dow Operations Plant B in Lake Jackson stands in stark contrast to the sprawling marshes surrounding McNeal Lake and Pelican Lake. The map details the transition from residential areas like Jones Creek and Perry Landing into the tidal flats and lagoons of the Gulf coast. Transportation and shipping are central to the region's character, evidenced by the Intracoastal Waterway and the Old Intracoastal Waterway cutting through the low-lying terrain near Freeport. Local history and land use are preserved in names like Durazno Plantation Rd and the Velasco Cem, anchoring the modern industrial landscape to its earlier agricultural and settlement roots.
