2010 Map of Oyster Bayou
USGS Topo · Published 2010About this map
The low-lying coastal prairie of Chambers County is defined by an intricate network of slow-moving waterways and industrial land use in this 2010 survey. Oyster Bayou and its companion, the East Fork Oyster Bayou, carve through the eastern portion of the landscape, while the western side is marked by the winding courses of East Fork Double Bayou and Chimney Bayou. The presence of the Oyster Bayou Oil Field highlights the area's ongoing importance to the regional petroleum industry, contrasting with the quiet historical significance of Jackson Cemetery located along Whites Ranch Rd. This intersection of extractive industry and family history is typical of the Texas Gulf Coast, where large ranching tracts such as those served by Smith Point Rd have long coexisted with oil exploration.
