2016 Map of Oyster Bayou
USGS Topo · Published 2016About this map
Jackson Cem stands as a quiet marker of local history in this coastal region of Chambers County. This survey highlights the complex drainage system where the East Fork Double Bayou and Oyster Bayou wind through the low-lying Texas landscape. The network of waterways, including Chimney Bayou and the curiously named Bad East Gully, reveals the intricate hydrology of the area as it reaches toward the Gulf coast. Modern infrastructure is represented by the path of FM 1985 and Smith Point Rd, which provide access to the rural homesteads and agricultural tracts scattered between the bayous. The concentration of wetlands and tidal forks suggests a landscape defined by seasonal water patterns and the historical reliance on these natural drainage channels for land management.
