1931 Map of Lake Como

About this map

Galveston Island as it appeared in the early 1930s is documented here through aerial photography compiled by the Army Air Corps. This coastal landscape is defined by the narrow strip of land separating the Gulf of Mexico from the shallow reaches of West Bay. The interior of the island shows the intricate shoreline of Lake Como and the smaller Sweetwater Lake further up the coast. The settlement of Dana sits near the western shoreline, serving as a primary point of human activity in this tidal environment. The map also highlights natural coastal features such as Hoeckers Point and various reef formations along the bay side. This advance sheet captures the island's geography before decades of modern development, providing a clear view of the natural inlets and marshy edges that characterized the area during this era.
