The good news is that my street which was built 53 years ago is on
the map, however not much after that is present. I would say you
managed to find the most inaccurate map available on the internet,
that must have been a challenge for you, but you did it.

Eric, when you actually stop trying to be the trickster
and invested as much time trying to actually investigate something
you might actually score a point.

So that you will know what the difference is between experience and
pulling crap out of ones hat.

Where you see the words "Matagorda" peninsula, that actual map has no
reflection of current reality. What it shows as swamp land is
actually bay, other areas are elevated land, some of the areas
indicated as bay are swamp land, areas indicated as elevated are
swampland.


The pipe marks the entrance to caney creek cut, it has been there as
since they put the gates on the colorado river 10 or 15 years ago.

Brown cedar cut no longer exists.

The colorado river used to exit into matagorda bay with overflow to
the gulf, the river was diverted many years ago into the gulf of
mexico, as this map shows, about 10 or 15 years ago the state of
texas place the cut to the gulf on the eastern side of the locks and
dug out a channel for the colorado river into west matagorda bay, as
it used to flow, now the state has absolute control over the flow of
the river. the 10ft isoquant on this map actually has the third
largest river in the state of texas flowing through it (the rio
grande, technically, no longer reaches the gulf of mexico). Minor
technical error, unless, of course, you happen to navigate these
waterways.

You are going to try better next time aren't you?
