About this map

The industrial and coastal interface of Lavaca Bay defines this recent survey, centered on the planned street grid and maritime facilities of Point Comfort. The landscape is shaped by significant water management features, notably the Coxs Creek Reservoir and a series of industrial basins including Raw Water Lake and Storm Lake. These artificial features stand in contrast to the natural hydrology of the Lavaca River delta and the marshy expanses of Venado Lakes and Swan Lake to the north.

Across the causeway to the southwest, the eastern edge of Port Lavaca appears near Noble Point, marking the connection between these two coastal hubs. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure of the Texas Gulf Coast, from the maze of bayous like Smugglers Bayou and Catfish Bayou to the residential blocks of Point Comfort named after Texas icons such as Austin St and Alamo St. This layout highlights the intersection of modern logistics and early 21st-century settlement patterns in Calhoun County.
