About this map

Lissie serves as a focal point in this agricultural region where the coastal prairies of Texas meet a complex network of drainage creeks. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the San Bernard River and its tributaries, including Middle Bernard Cr, W Bernard Cr, and Dewberry Br. These waterways historically dictated the settlement patterns and land use in this part of Wharton and Colorado Counties.

Smaller rural communities and named locales such as Chesterville, Hoefer, and Bernard Prairie are linked by a grid of county roads and highway corridors like Main St and Co Rd 270. The presence of features like Gum Tree Br illustrates the local naming conventions of the watershed, while the road network shows the continued importance of these hubs to the surrounding ranching and farming operations in the 21st century.
