2010 Map of Moss Bluff

About this map

The Trinity River snakes through a complex landscape of wetlands and engineered waterways in this coastal Texas region. The river's winding path creates distinct landforms such as Negro Bend, Dead Ray Bend, and Demijohn Bend, while older channels remain as The Cutoff and Old River. Human intervention is evident in the straight lines of the Coastal Water Authority Canal and the West Branch Devers Canal, which cut across the natural drainage patterns of Big Caney Creek and Swinney Marsh. Settlement is concentrated in the southern and eastern portions of the map. Old River-Winfree and the Old River Community occupy the lower reaches, while the namesake Moss Bluff sits near a sharp turn in the river. Genealogists can locate Quarters Cemetery in the north and Reeves Cemetery near the southern boundary, reflecting the long-standing community roots in these river-bottom lands.
