1984 Map of Tarkington Prairie

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Tarkington Prairie emerges as a distinct settlement pattern in Liberty County on this mid-1980s topographic record. The landscape is defined by its low-lying hydrology, where Marsh Branch and Davis Bayou drain the flatlands. This provisional survey highlights the community of Tarkington Prairie as the central hub of activity, surrounded by a network of drainage features such as Board Slough and Deer Gully. The presence of several Cem locations suggests long-standing family ties and historical burial grounds typical of rural Texas prairies. The mapping also notes contemporary infrastructure, including a Sewage Disposal site, reflecting the transition of the area toward modern utility management while maintaining its agricultural and residential character. Significant waterways like Gaylor Creek provide insight into the natural drainage basins that shaped early settlement in this part of Liberty County.
