1931 Map of Frozen Point

USGS Topo · Published 1931

About this map

The salt marshes and coastal waters of the Texas Gulf Coast are depicted in this 1931 survey, compiled from aerial photographs by the Air Corps. The map focuses on the interface between the Bolivar Peninsula and East Bay, highlighting the complex shoreline of Frozen Point and Marsh Point. To the north, the boundary between Chambers and Galveston counties follows the winding path of Robinson Bayou, showing the natural drainage patterns before modern development. In the southern corner, the presence of the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad line running parallel to the Gulf of Mexico illustrates the critical transportation corridor along the narrow neck of land. This early topographic effort, overseen by county officials like C. C. Washington, captures a landscape dominated by open Pasture and tidal inlets.
