Baytown lake seen for possible name change before Juneteenth
A small Baytown lake once called Negrohead Lake may receive a new name if federal authorities reverse a prior stance. The lake lies on the west bank of Cedar Bayou near Ijams Lake and Devil's Elbow, in swampy, roadless land. Texas had proposed Lake Henry Doyle in 1991 to replace racially charged names, honoring Black Texans, but federal law reserves naming power to the U S Board on Geographic Names and found insufficient evidence to proceed.
