2010 Map of Winnie NW

About this map

The coastal wetlands and irrigation networks of Jefferson County define this landscape, where the Spindletop Bayou and North Fork Taylor Bayou wind through low-lying terrain. The map documents a complex hydraulic system vital to local agriculture, dominated by the Lower Neches Valley Authority Canal and the Nolte Canal. These man-made waterways segment the territory alongside family-named roads like Ebner Rd and George Bauer Rd. Historically significant landforms rise from the marshes, including Double Gum Island, Oak Island, and Little Pine Island, which serve as distinct markers in an otherwise level prairie. Aviation history is noted by the presence of the Sonny Broussard Landing Strip, situated in the northern reaches of the quadrangle near Turkey Island. This 2010 survey reflects a period of modern rural infrastructure, showing the intersection of natural bayou drainage and intensive water management for the surrounding coastal plains.
