2019 Map of Galveston OE S

About this map

Galveston Island meets the expanse of the Gulf of Mexico at this southern coastal stretch during the late 2010s. The map captures the transition from the developed edge of the island into the open waters of the gulf. Along the narrow northwestern corner, coastal access is defined by Seawall Blvd and the beginning of Termini San Luis Pass Rd, which serves as the primary artery along the island's western reach. This maritime area is largely defined by West Beach, a coastal landmark that draws visitors and residents alike to the island's Gulf-facing side. While the majority of the survey covers open water, it precisely documents the shoreline where local roads like 7 Mile Rd terminate near the surf, providing a record of the island's physical footprint before shifting coastal patterns or future development alter this sandy interface.
