2010 Map of Wadsworth

About this map

The low-lying coastal prairies of Matagorda County are defined by a complex network of waterways that converge near the Colorado River. At the center of this landscape sits Wadsworth, a community positioned where the agricultural terrain transitions toward the coastal marshes. Local infrastructure and land use are deeply tied to the movement of water, evidenced by features such as Big Boggy Creek, Peyton Creek, and the Wadsworth Slough. Further south, the settlement of Gulf Hill and large-scale water management features like East Reservoir and Donaldson Lake reflect the area's ongoing relationship with drainage and irrigation.
