About this map

Simmons Bottom and the Carter Settlement characterize the rural landscape of Liberty County in the early 21st century. This area is defined by a complex network of slow-moving waterways, including Luce Bayou and Tarkington Bayou, which drain the low-lying terrain. The map reveals a transition between established agricultural settlements and newer residential developments, visible in the winding street layouts of Timberline Blvd and Lake Wood Dr.

Genealogists will find the Ryan Cem near the intersection of Co Road 300 and Crye Ln, a site of local family significance. Smaller drainage features like Indian Gulley and Long John Cr weave through the property lines, illustrating how the natural hydrology of the Texas Gulf Coast continues to shape local road patterns and land use, from the legacy of the Carter Loop to the newer stretches along FM 1008.
