2022 Map of Oyster Bayou

About this map

Oyster Bayou and its numerous branches dominate this coastal drainage landscape in Chambers County. The intricate network of waterways, including the East Fork Oyster Bayou and East Fork Double Bayou, defines the low-lying terrain as it transitions toward the Gulf of Mexico. This environment is largely defined by its rural road network, with routes such as Fairview Rd and Carrington Rd providing access to the expansive coastal plains. A key point of interest for genealogists and local historians is the Jackson Cem, a small burial ground situated near the intersection of FM 1985 and Smith Point Rd. The map illustrates a landscape of intermittent wetlands and complex hydrography, typical of the Texas coastal bend, where drainage patterns like Chimney Bayou are vital to the local ecology and land use.
