1931 Map of High Island

USGS Topo · Published 1931

About this map

The coastal salt domes and marshlands of Chambers and Galveston counties are documented here in 1931, based on early aerial photographs taken by the Army Air Corps. The settlement of High Island rises above the surrounding terrain, anchored by the High Island Hotel and served by the Gulf and Colorado Santa Fe railroad line. The map illustrates a landscape dominated by water and shifting coastlines, where the Gulf of Mexico meets the expansive East Bay at the narrow peninsula near Rollover.
