About this map

The Colorado River meanders across the border of Wharton and Matagorda Counties, shaping a landscape defined by oxbow lakes and early industrial expansion. In the early 1950s, the region was characterized by a transition from traditional ranching and farming to active petroleum extraction, evidenced by the North Markham Oil Field and Bay City Oil Field. These fields sit alongside an intricate network of water features, including Jennings Lake, Silver Lake, and Neal Lake, which illustrate the river's historical shifts.
