2010 Map of Galveston OE S

About this map

Gulf of Mexico waters dominate this coastal survey, which captures the thin southwestern edge of Galveston Island as it appeared in 2010. The shoreline is defined by the expanse of West Beach, a critical segment of the Texas coast that transitions from open sand into the developed infrastructure of the city. The infrastructure pattern is anchored by the terminus of Seawall Blvd, a historic protective barrier and thoroughfare that connects the urban core of Galveston to its more remote coastal stretches. Inland from the surf, the map shows the residential and recreational layout around Cove View Blvd, providing a clear look at the topographic footprint of this barrier island before subsequent seasonal shifts and storm cycles altered the landscape.
