About this map

The coastal marshlands and intricate drainage systems of Southeast Texas are captured in this recent survey, showcasing a landscape defined by the intersection of natural bayous and industrial water management. Willis Marsh and Spindletop Bayou dominate the western portion of the map, while the expansive Lower Neches Valley Authority Canal cuts across the terrain, illustrating the region's complex water engineering. This area, where Liberty and Jefferson counties meet, is dotted with namesake "islands"—slightly elevated ground within the wetlands—such as Turkey Island, Pignut Island, and Double Gum Island. The map provides a contemporary record of rural infrastructure, including Nolte Canal and the branching reaches of North Fork Taylor Bayou. These labels preserve local geographical identifiers used by generations of land managers and residents in this hydrologically significant corner of the state.
