About this map

The industrial and coastal landscape of Point Comfort dominates this survey, where the Lavaca River meets the expansive Lavaca Bay. The map details a complex water management system essential to the local industry, featuring the Coxs Cr Reservoir, Raw Water Lake, Clear Lake, and Storm Lake. The grid of Point Comfort reveals a concentrated residential area with streets such as Alamo St and Fannin St situated just north of the significant industrial facilities.

Across the water to the southwest, the edge of Port Lavaca is visible at Noble Point. The shoreline is characterized by a series of specialized water bodies and marshlands, including Mud Lake Number 4 and the Dredge Spoil Lake. To the north, the terrain transitions into a labyrinth of coastal wetlands and tidal features like Smugglers Bayou and Swan Lake, illustrating the fluid boundary between the Texas mainland and the Gulf of Mexico.
