About this map

The Trinity River snakes through a complex network of bayous and man-made waterways in this part of Liberty County. The landscape is defined by its hydraulic engineering, featuring major works like the Coastal Water Authority Canal, Lynchburg Canal, and Dayton Canal that divert water across the coastal plain. Amidst these modern infrastructure projects, long-standing local landmarks remain, including Moss Spring and several prominent river bends such as Negro Bend and Marks Bend.

Settlement patterns are concentrated in clusters like the Old River Community and the namesake Moss Bluff, while South Dayton sits at the northern edge. For those researching local family history, the map identifies small, significant sites including Reeves Cem near Little Caney Cr and Quarters Cem in the eastern reaches. The presence of features like Devils Hole and Wooten Lake highlights the intricate, water-dominant geography of the Texas Gulf Coast region.
