1933 Map of Frozen Point

About this map

Bolivar Peninsula stretches across this 1933 preliminary survey, showcasing a landscape of tidal marshes and coastal waterways before extensive modern development. This sheet captures a critical segment of the Texas coast where East Bay meets the mainland, featuring the namesake Frozen Point on the marshy northern shore. The era's infrastructure is dominated by the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe State Highway No 124, which provides a vital land link across the peninsula. Smaller waterways like Robinson Bayou and Pasture Bayou snake through the terrain, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of the upper coast. Prepared with the assistance of Galveston County Engineer C. C. Washington and aerial photography from the U.S. Army Air Corps, the map serves as a detailed record of the shoreline and maritime boundary between Chambers and Galveston counties.
