2010 Map of Terry

About this map

The low-lying wetlands of Jefferson County define this landscape along the Neches River, where industrial infrastructure and historical settlements meet the coastal bayous. The map captures a transition from the residential growth of Vidor and the community of Terry in the north to the extensive marshlands and water bodies of the south, including Grays Bayou and Bird Island Bayou. This area is shaped by its energy economy, dominated by the North Port Neches Oil and Gas Field and the Bessie Heights Oil and Gas Field, which are threaded into the environment near Gum Island. Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites documented across the terrain, such as Stephenson Cemetery, Thomas Cemetery, and Williams Cemetery. The local transport network, including FM 1442 and S Mansfield Ferry Rd, illustrates the necessary connections across these intricate waterways and gullies.
