2010 Map of Orange

About this map

Orange and its industrial waterfront define this coastal Texas landscape where the Sabine River snakes through a complex network of bayous and man-made channels. The intersection of heavy industry and local history is visible in the proximity of established burial grounds like Hollywood Cemetery and Evergreen Cemetery to large-scale infrastructure such as the Dupont Plant Reservoir Levee. The area south of West Orange and the neighborhood of Cove shows a transition from urban grids to the marshy lowlands of Pavell Island and Perry Ridge, dominated by energy extraction at the Phoenix Lake Oil Field and the Phoenix Lake Gas Field. Navigation is central to the geography here, anchored by the Intracoastal Waterway and recreational hubs like the Sabine Yacht Basin Marina. This survey records a modern industrial port city deeply integrated with its surrounding waterways, from the narrow Little Cypress Bayou to the broad Black Bayou.
