2010 Map of La Porte

About this map

Galveston Bay and the Upper San Jacinto Bay define this coastal landscape, where the waters of Buffalo Bayou and Tucker Bayou meet a heavily developed industrial and residential shoreline. This survey captures the complex intersection of maritime commerce and residential growth in the Houston area, featuring the Houston Port Authority and the Baytown Tunnel crossing. Residential neighborhoods like Brook Glen, Spenwick Place, and Lomax fill the spaces between major transit corridors, while older community anchors such as Betheny Cemetery and La Porte Cemetery provide genealogical depth. Significant landmarks like the La Porte Municipal Airport and the recreational stretch of Sylvan Beach sit alongside islands and peninsulas, including Alexander Island and Blackwell Peninsula, illustrating a coastal environment shaped by ship channels and residential expansion.
