About this map

The Colorado River defines the eastern boundary of this Matagorda County landscape, winding south past Bay City toward the Gulf Coast. In the center of the sheet, the town of Markham is laid out in a clear grid of numbered streets and lettered avenues, including Broadway St and Ave F. This organized settlement pattern contrasts with the surrounding agricultural and ranching land, which is crisscrossed by drainage features like Wilson Cr and access roads like FM 1468.

Further south, the small settlement of Buckeye sits at the junction of Co Rd 479 and the Elmaton-Buckeye Rd. Private aviation infrastructure is represented by the W D Cornelius Ranch Airport, while industrial activity is suggested by Channel Industry Rd near the river. Near the southern edge, Lake Le Tulle occupies a bend in the river floodplain, illustrating the hydrologic character of this coastal prairie region.
