National Geodetic Survey readings on Crow Road and Bayway Drive indicate the bench mark sank 24 inches in about 2.7 years, a 2.77 inch per year rate, with earlier surveys showing higher subsidence.

The survey team plans road resurveying and warns of rising water near the Brownwood perimeter road as tides and land elevation shift.
