1952 Map of Lake Austin

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Industrial and hydrological engineering define the coastal landscape of Matagorda County in the early 1950s. The prominence of Lake Austin is complemented by an intricate network of waterways, including Peyton Creek and Canoe Bayou, which are intersected by an extensive system of man-made Levee structures. These levees follow the contours of the wetlands and marshes, particularly near Big Boggy Creek, reflecting a mid-century effort to manage the local water table and protect the surrounding terrain.
