About this map

The Trinity River dominates this portion of Liberty County, winding through a complex system of bottomlands, bayous, and oxbow lakes. The eastern bank is anchored by the historic settlement of Liberty, where established neighborhoods and community landmarks like Neyland Cem and Branch Cem sit just above the floodplain. To the south, the map identifies the Negros Liberty Settlement, a site of significant cultural and genealogical interest, alongside South Liberty and the expanse of Beards Marsh.

Westward across the State Highway 3 Bridge, the landscape shifts toward Dayton and the smaller community of Kenefick. The river’s shifting course is etched into the terrain through features like River Boat Bend, Horse Shoe Bend Bayou, and Cypress Lake. On the northeastern heights, Graveyard Hill and the Hardin Cem overlook the confluence of Wood Spring Creek and Big Bayou, marking the historic area of Atascosito.
