About this map

Trinity Bay dominates the western landscape of this coastal Chambers County survey, where the Trinity River meets the salt marshes of the Gulf Coast. The shoreline is punctuated by local landmarks such as Round Point, Ash Point, and Black Point, while the interior is defined by the winding paths of the West Fork Double Bayou and East Fork Double Bayou. Settlement is concentrated in the communities of Anahuac, Oak Island, and Double Bayou, reflecting a landscape deeply tied to the water.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds including Crook Cem and Godfrey Cem, providing clear reference points for family research. The infrastructure of the area, characterized by names like Eagle Ferry Rd and the Eagle Air Airport, suggests a history of transportation and connectivity across the wetlands and bayous. In the south, the expansive Gordy Marsh illustrates the preserved natural character of the Texas coastline before it gives way to more developed reaches.
