About this map

The industrial and coastal landscape of Calhoun County is defined by the extensive water management systems surrounding Point Comfort. Large industrial basins such as Raw Water Lake, Storm Lake, and Clear Lake dominate the central peninsula, supporting the area's economic infrastructure. To the east, the Coxs Creek Reservoir and the winding course of Cox Cr demonstrate the modification of the natural hydrology for modern utility.

Across the deep waters of Lavaca Bay, the northeastern edge of Port Lavaca appears near Noble Point, connected to the peninsula by a long causeway. The map captures the quiet inlets and coastal marshes of Smugglers Bayou and Catfish Bayou, contrasted by the rigid street grid of Point Comfort featuring historic Texas names like Alamo St and El Camino Real St. This survey documents a complex shoreline where the Lavaca River meets Swan Lake, highlighting a region shaped by both its maritime heritage and large-scale manufacturing.
