About this map

East Bay and the marshlands of the Upper Texas Coast dominate this coastal survey at the boundary of Chambers and Galveston counties. The landscape is a complex network of wetlands and tidal waters, including Robinson Lake, Gordy Marsh, and Willow Marsh. The Intracoastal Waterway serves as a critical maritime corridor, cutting through the southern portion of the map near the settlement of Capen and the adjacent Rollover Bay.

Tracing the northern shoreline reveals several prominent geographic markers such as Frozen Point and Marsh Point, alongside drainage systems like Oyster Bayou and Cane Bayou. Evidence of land management and recreational access is visible through features like the Butterfly / Willows Trail and various levee systems. This area is characterized by low-lying islands including Coulter Island and Goat Island, which illustrate the shifting interface between freshwater inlets and the Gulf of Mexico.
