1994 Map of Whites Bayou

About this map

Whites Bayou meanders through this portion of Liberty County, defining a landscape shaped by both natural drainage and an extensive network of irrigation canals. The settlement of Devers sits at the northern edge of this coastal plain, where the flat terrain is divided between wooded areas and open fields. A sophisticated system of water management is evident throughout the survey, with numerous unnamed canals and lateral ditches engineered to support the local agricultural economy. This 1994 edition, based on earlier aerial photography and field checks, provides a precise look at the rural infrastructure of East Texas during the late twentieth century, showing the intersection of natural bayous with human-made water diversions and petroleum-related structures.
