1961 Map of Mud Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Gulf of Mexico coast along the Jefferson and Chambers county line is defined by a low-lying marshland environment where the Intracoastal Waterway cuts a straight path across the landscape. This 1961 survey, based on earlier planetable data and updated with 1974 aerial photogrammetry, reveals the intricate hydrological network of Mud Bayou as it meanders toward the tidal waters of Mud Lake. The presence of the highway 87 provides the primary terrestrial link across this wetland region, running parallel to the shoreline. The map documents the shifting boundary lines between Chambers and Jefferson counties, offering a detailed look at the coastal geography before modern shoreline changes or industrial developments further altered the drainage patterns of the Texas coast.
