About this map

Galveston Island and its bustling port infrastructure dominate this coastal survey, highlighting the complex shipping lanes that define the region's economy. The Houston Ship Channel and Intracoastal Waterway converge near Pelican Island, where the Todd Shipyard Rd and various industrial loops serve the maritime trade. To the north, Point Bolivar on the Bolivar Peninsula marks the entrance to the protected bay, linked to the main city by a robust ferry system.

Genealogists will find significant value in the cluster of burial grounds located near Fort Crockett, including Calvary Catholic Cem, Beth Jacob Cem, and the Serbian Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the city's street grid, from the historic Broadway St to the modern terminals of Scholes International Airport at Galveston, illustrating how the community has expanded along the Gulf shore toward West Beach.
