2010 Map of Frozen Point

About this map

East Bay dominates this coastal landscape, serving as the central divide between the marshy mainland and the thin barrier peninsula of Galveston County. The map details a complex hydrologic network of inlets and lagoons, including Robinson Lake and the Open Lakes, which are connected by a web of channels such as Cane Bayou and Oyster Bayou. On the southern edge, the small settlements of Rollover and Caplen sit precariously between the Intracoastal Waterway and the open Gulf of Mexico. The presence of the East Robinson Lake Gas Field indicates the industrial utility of these wetlands, while named landforms like Frozen Point, Marsh Point, and Long Point define the shifting shoreline. This environment reflects the interplay of maritime navigation and energy extraction along the Texas coast just before the second decade of the 21st century.
