Galveston Island meets the expanse of the Gulf of Mexico in this modern topographic study focusing on the southwestern reaches of the city. The map highlights the coastal interface where urban development and critical infrastructure converge along the shore. Major thoroughfares such as Seawall Blvd and Termini San Luis Pass Rd define the local transit network, providing access to the residential and recreational areas of West Beach. This survey records the contemporary street grid including 7 Mile Rd and Cove View Blvd, documenting the extent of human settlement and land use on the island as of 2022. The lack of inland features emphasizes the island's narrow profile and its exposure to the Gulf.
