About this map

Shiloh and the surrounding marshlands of Liberty and Chambers counties are defined by an intricate network of waterways and irrigation infrastructure. The West Branch Devers Canal cuts across the landscape, while drainage features like Black Gully, Hatcher Gully, and Brooks Cr navigate the low-lying terrain. The region is notable for its numerous small family and community burial grounds, including Miller Cem, Norris Cem, and Albritton Cem, which are scattered among the timber and wetlands.

To the south, the terrain descends toward Lake Charlotte and Willow Cove, where Cedar Hill overlooks the broad reach of the Trinity River and the oxbow at Fisher Bend. This area shows the intersection of the coastal prairie and the river bottomlands, where roads like Liberty Wallisville Rd and FM 563 Rd connect isolated settlements and agrarian tracts through the Swinney Marsh and Burkey Creek Marsh.
