About this map

Water management and agricultural drainage define this coastal Texas landscape where the boundaries of Harris, Chambers, and Liberty counties meet. The complex network of the Dayton Canal, Lynchburg Canal, and Cedar Point Lateral indicates a high degree of hydrological engineering across the flat terrain. This infrastructure supports large-scale industrial or agricultural activity near the settlements of Dayton and Mont Belvieu.

For family historians, the Harvey Family Cem sits west of the Cedar Bayou drainage, offering a specific point of interest for local genealogy. The map also captures the varied water features of the region, from the W Scott Frost Reservoir Number 1 and J M Frost Reservoir Number 2 to the winding course of the W Prong Old River. The presence of the Gum Island Airport provides a clear landmark within this intersection of natural bayous and man-made waterways.
