1933 Map of Frozen Point

About this map

Bolivar Peninsula separates the churning waters of the Gulf of Mexico from the sheltered expanse of East Bay in this coastal Texas survey. The map details a fragile landscape of coastal marshes and waterways, notably around Marsh Point and the winding Pasture Bayou. While much of the northern shoreline remains a large Unsurveyed Area, the southern portion captures the vital transportation corridor of the early 20th century. The Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad line runs parallel to the gulf shore, serving the small community of Caplen. This infrastructure reflects the era's reliance on rail for coastal trade and settlement before the expansion of modern highway systems. Geographic markers like Frozen Point and Robinson Bayou provide essential navigation references for this transition zone between land and sea.
