MUD POINT. Mud Point is a cape at the tip of a peninsula formed
by Cox Bay to the west, Lavaca Bay to the southwest, and Keller
Bay to the east, in eastern Calhoun County. It forms the
northern point of a narrow strait between Lavaca and Keller
bays; Rupert Point, about half a mile across the narrow
waterway, forms the southern point of the strait. Mud Point
consists of poorly drained soil, which is wet for long periods;
the slowly permeable subsoil has a high shrink-swell potential,
and the location is occasionally inundated by windblown
seawater. The following, adapted from the Chicago Manual of
