About this map

Galveston Island stretches across this survey, illustrating the dense residential developments and coastal geography along the Gulf of Mexico. The map details the intricate network of inlets and coves that define the island's northern edge along West Bay, including Starvation Cove, Dalehite Cove, and Dana Cove. Residential communities such as Jamaica Beach, Pirates Beach, and Bermuda Beach are shown with their complex canal systems and grid layouts, highlighting the modern vacation and residential character of this portion of the Texas coast.

Cultural landmarks like the Mary Moody Northern Amphitheater are situated near the banks of Lake Como, providing a focal point for the island's developed areas. Significant natural features, from the oyster-bearing Carancahua Reef to the marshes of Eckert Bayou and Oxen Bayou, offer a clear picture of the wetland environment. The transportation spine of the area, Termini-San Luis Pass Rd, connects these settlements to the broader island landscape.
