About this map

The Neches River dominates this coastal landscape, serving as the border between Orange and Jefferson counties. In the southern reaches of this map, the waterway splits into several channels including the Smith Bluff Cutoff and Block Bayou, surrounding marshy features like Gum Island. This area captures a complex transition from industrial maritime hubs to low-lying wetlands, with the larger settlements of Port Arthur, Port Neches, and Nederland appearing at the southwestern edge.

Away from the river, the interior geography is defined by a network of drainage ways such as Cow Bayou and Anderson Gully. Small communities like Oilla and Connell are scattered among larger towns including Vidor and Bridge City. Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the rural landscape, including the Kishi Colony Cem, Williams Cem, and Stephenson Cem, which offer physical links to the early families and settlements of this corner of Southeast Texas.
