1943 Map of High Island

About this map

The salt dome of High Island rises above the surrounding wetlands in this 1943 survey, serving as a prominent landmark along the Gulf Coast. During the early 1940s, this area functioned as a vital transport corridor, where the Santa Fe railroad and the Intracoastal Waterway intersect near the Chambers and Galveston county line. The coastal landscape is defined by a complex network of tidal passages, including East Bay Bayou, Oyster Bayou, and Mud Bayou, which drain into the East Bay and the Lower Marsh.
