Pine Island Bayou meanders across the northern border of this Gulf Coast prairie landscape, marking the historical divide between Hardin, Liberty, and Jefferson counties. The settlement of Nome serves as a central hub in the south, where the local economy is tied to the land through operations like the Farm Air Service and the extensive water management of the Lower Neches Valley Authority Canal. The area is defined by its distinct expanses of open ground, including Swift Prairie and Whitehead Prairie, which are dissected by a complex network of drainage features such as Horsepen Gully and Uncle Charlie Slough.
