2013 Map of Galveston OE S

About this map

The vast expanse of the Gulf of Mexico dominates this coastal survey, documenting the maritime edge of Galveston Island as it appeared in the early 21st century. Settlement is concentrated in the extreme northwestern corner of the sheet, where the urban grid of Galveston meets the shoreline. Infrastructure here is defined by the transition from protected coastal roads to the open water, notably along the iconic Seawall Blvd. This route, along with Cove View Blvd and 7 Mile Rd, provides a clear view of the transportation network supporting the island's beachfront development and storm-protection systems during this era.
