The Colorado River corridor defines this coastal prairie landscape in the 1990s, where extensive systems of Levees manage the waterway's influence on the surrounding oil and agricultural lands. Near the grid of Markham, the North Markham Oil Field and numerous scattered Oil Wells and Gas Wells indicate a persistent petroleum economy. An Old Railroad Grade cuts across the terrain, reflecting the evolution of transportation in Matagorda County as rail gave way to the network of roads and pipelines shown here.
