About this map

Lake Charlotte and the surrounding marshlands dominate the southern reach of this 2016 survey, where the Trinity River snakes along the western boundary near Fisher Bend. The settlement of Shiloh serves as a central point in a landscape defined by an extensive network of drainage gullies and irrigation infrastructure, including the West Branch Devers Canal and Black Gully.

For family historians, the area is notably dense with small burial grounds tucked between agricultural parcels and coastal wetlands. Many of these, such as Miller Cem, Norris Cem, and Worthy Cem, are situated along the rural road network of FM 563 and Liberty Wallisville RD. The hydrology of the region is further detailed through features like Turtle Bayou and Swinney Marsh, illustrating the low-lying, water-rich environment at the Liberty Co and Chambers Co border.
