About this map

Whites Bayou winds through this low-lying coastal landscape on the border of Liberty and Chambers counties. The area is defined by an intricate network of natural waterways and early 21st-century irrigation infrastructure, including the West Branch Devers Canal, E Br Devers Canal, and W Br Devers Canal. These man-made channels cut through the marshy terrain, supporting the local agricultural economy and water management systems.

Genealogists and local historians will find several small burial grounds scattered across the quadrangle, such as Sahara Cem in the north and Abshier Cem to the west. The map also documents named natural features like Lee Cove, Crooked Marsh, and E Fork Double Bayou, which illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the Texas Gulf Coast. Numerous rural roads, including FM 1410 and various private routes like PVT RD 114, provide access to this water-dependent landscape.
