    Mapping New Land | by Sam Stephenson

    Writer Sam Stephenson was already living in Texas in his head before migrating from his home in coastal North Carolina. He and his family were looking for a house in College Station when their realtor told him about a place that sounded familiar: Matagorda. “It was her family’s favorite spot on the coast. They liked it because it was isolated and remote, with basically no tourism except people there to fish or watch birds. This sounded good to me.” Narration: Sam Stephenson Producer: Katey Psencik Illustration: Sam Ward
