2 State of the Double Bayou Watershed
2 State of the Double Bayou Watershed 2.1 Double Bayou Watershed Overview 2.1.1 Double Bayou landscape The Double Bayou watershed is located on the Upper Texas Gulf Coast and is part of the Galveston Bay watershed (Figure 2-1 Double Bayou watershed). Situated in the eastern portion of the Lower Galveston Bay, it is comprised of two main subwatersheds: East Fork and West Fork, which are also the primary waterways in the watershed. The Double Bayou watershed drains directly into the Trinity Bay system and ultimately into Galveston Bay. The majority (93%) of the watershed lies within Chambers County, Texas. The remaining 7% of the watershed is located in Liberty County, Texas. The Double Bayou watershed drains 98 square miles (61,445 acres) of predominantly rural and agricultural landscape. However, several residential centers are located in the watershed. Figure 2-1 Double Bayou watershed 1 The City of Anahuac, Texas is located on the Trinity River and the northeast bank of Trinity Bay. This rural community is the largest contiguous area of developed land in the watershed. Anahuac has a total area of 1,344 acres (2.1 square miles) and is nine feet above sea level (District 2013). Anahuac is the Chambers County seat, with a 2010 population of 2,243. Much of the middle portion of Chambers county drains into Double Bayou. The unincorporated community of Oak Island is identified by the U.S. Census as a designated place. Oak Island is located at the confluence of the East and West Forks of Double Bayou and Trinity Bay. -
