2010 Map of Markham

About this map

Markham serves as the primary residential hub in this coastal prairie landscape of Matagorda County, where the town’s established street grid stands in contrast to the surrounding agricultural and industrial expanse. To the southeast, the small settlement of Buckeye is connected by a network of rural routes including Elmaton-Buckeye Rd and Buckeye Ranch Rd. The eastern edge of the map is defined by the winding course of the Colorado River, which feeds into Lake Le Tulle and is regulated by the Lcra Dam. This 2010 survey illustrates the region's reliance on both aviation and water management, featuring the W D Cornelius Ranch Airport alongside a complex system of drainage and irrigation canals like Wilson Creek that support the local ranching and rice-farming economy.
