About this map

Galveston Bay dominates this coastal survey, where the deep-water Houston Ship Channel and Houston/Galveston Navigation Channel intersect the natural geography of Middle Pass and Fivemile Pass. Along the western shoreline, the built environments of Pasadena, La Porte, and Bacliff demonstrate the dense residential and industrial development characteristic of the modern Texas coast.

Genealogists and local historians can trace specific residential patterns through the named streets of El Jardin Del-Mar and Bayview, or locate the Seabrook Cem situated near Pine Gully. Farther out in the bay, man-made and natural features like Red Fish Island and Bulkhead Reef mark the transition toward the open water of the gulf, providing a detailed record of the shoreline and maritime infrastructure as it stood in the late 2010s.
