About this map

Jackson Cem stands as a focal point for family history in this corner of Chambers County, situated near the intersection of Smith Point Rd and FM 1985. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of coastal waterways, including the winding Oyster Bayou and its tributary, East Fork Oyster Bayou. These bayous drain toward the Gulf, carving through a terrain marked by wetlands and agricultural tracts.

The low-lying coastal prairie is further etched by the East Fork Double Bayou and Chimney Bayou, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Texas coast. Local transit is guided by long, straight thoroughfares such as Fairview Rd and Carrington Rd, which serve the rural properties between the major bayou systems. This map captures a moment in the 21st century where traditional land use and drainage patterns persist in this marshy landscape.
