1943 Map of Frozen Point

About this map

The Bolivar Peninsula separates the churning waters of the Gulf of Mexico from the sheltered expanse of East Bay in this coastal Texas survey. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of marshes and watercourses, including the massive Willow Marsh and Robinson Lake to the north. These wetlands are drained by systems like Oyster Bayou and Cane Bayou, which meander toward the bay. On the peninsula itself, the Intracoastal Waterway cuts a straight path for marine traffic, passing near the small settlement of Rollover. Local industry is evidenced by the Sun Oil Company Canal, while traditional landmarks like Coulter Island and Long Point provide orientation across the low-lying terrain. The map also delineates the boundary between Chambers and Galveston Counties as it crosses the water.
