2022 Map of Oak Island

About this map

Anahuac and the coastal settlement of Oak Island anchor this survey of the eastern shores of Trinity Bay. The geography is defined by the complex aquatic network where the Trinity River Channel meets the bay, and where the West Fork Double Bayou and East Fork Double Bayou meander through low-lying coastal terrain. This landscape reflects a deep history of navigation and small-scale aviation, evidenced by Eagle Air Airport situated near the bayous. Several small family and church cemeteries, including Martha Godfrey Cem and the Martin Dunman Cem, are found near Double Bayou, providing essential markers for genealogists and local historians tracing the families who settled this part of Chambers County. To the south, the expansive Gordy Marsh illustrates the preservation of the natural marshy shoreline along the Texas Gulf Coast.
