About this map

The San Jacinto Battlefield stands as a prominent landmark along the upper reaches of the Houston Ship Channel, marking a landscape where early Texas history meets twentieth-century industrial development. At the time of this 1916 survey, La Porte is established as a central hub near the shores of Galveston Bay, featuring its waterfront Sylvan Beach and a grid of streets that includes Main Street. The area's transit is defined by the Southern Pacific System and the Galveston Harrisburg and San Antonio RR, which connect settlements like Deer Park, Strang, and East La Porte.
