About this map

Matagorda Bay defines the southern reach of this coastal landscape, where the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through a complex of salt marshes and tidal flats. The interior is a specialized ecosystem dominated by the Mad Island Wildlife Management Area, featuring a labyrinth of water bodies including Crab Lake, Freshwater Lake, and Mad Island Lake. Evidence of human infrastructure is found further north at the settlement of Citrus Grove, where an Old RR Grade and Gillett Road serve as remnants of earlier transportation patterns. The map documents an industrial presence on the land through numerous gas wells scattered across the prairie, while the coastal edge is defined by prominent features like Shell Island Reef and Dog Island Reef. Extensive levee systems and sloughs, such as Little Robbins Slough, illustrate the region's managed hydrology and its proximity to the Colorado River delta.
