1932 Map of Algoa

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

Algoa stands as a rail-dependent hub on the Texas coastal plain at a time when the Missouri Pacific and Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroads intersected south of Dickinson Bayou. The landscape reflects a period of infrastructure development, with State Highway No 38 cutting a straight line through the territory toward the coast. This 1932 edition, based on 1929 surveys, includes names of the Galveston County Commissioners Court like E. B. Holman and engineer C. C. Washington, grounding the map in the local civil administration of the era. The intricate drainage patterns of Chigger Creek and Magnolia Bayou illustrate the low-lying terrain near the Brazoria and Harris County lines, where early road networks and rail lines negotiated the prairie wetlands.
