About this map

Dickinson and League City dominate this coastal Texas landscape, showcasing the post-war suburban and industrial expansion along the corridor toward Texas City. The geography is defined by the winding course of Dickinson Bayou and Moses Bayou, which provide critical drainage for the low-lying terrain. Significant cultural markers include the sprawling Mt Olivet Cemetery and educational sites like Dunbar Sch and the Santa Fe Sch in the settlement of Arcadia.

Evidence of the region's military history is visible at Camp Wallace (Abandoned) in La Marque, while the massive transportation infrastructure of the Gulf Freeway and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway highlights the area's role as a transit and shipping hub. The map also captures local utilities and resources through features like the Water Tower, various Pits, and a Gaging Sta, reflecting the intensive land use of late twentieth-century Galveston County.
