Freeport occupies the northwestern corner of this coastal survey, where the terrestrial edge meets the expansive waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The map documents a thin sliver of the Texas shoreline near Drum Point, a location defined more by the sea than the land. Transportation through this narrow coastal corridor is facilitated by several local roads, including the Blue Water Hwy, Gulf Dr, and Palm St. This 2022 edition provides a contemporary record of the shifting boundary between the Brazoria County coast and the open sea, capturing a moment where human infrastructure like Co Rd 257 clings to the very edge of the continent.
