About this map

The Houston Ship Channel and Upper San Jacinto Bay dominate this industrial landscape, where massive shipping infrastructure meets established coastal communities. Industrial hubs like Morgan's Point and La Porte are intricately mapped alongside the dredging and navigation cuts of Barbours Cut and the Houston/Galveston Navigation Channel. This modern survey reveals a complex network of waterways, including Big Island Slough and Armand Bayou, which define the low-lying terrain between Pasadena and Deer Park.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the detailed mapping of numerous small burial grounds, such as the Habermehl Family Cem, Wooster Family Cem, and Arthur Hale Cem. The transition from heavy industry to residential life is visible at Sylvan Beach and the San Jacinto College Central Campus, while the reach of regional transport is evidenced by the La Porte Municipal Airport and the heavy corridors of the La Porte Freeway Hwy.
