1954 Map of Lake Como

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Galveston Island is depicted here during a transitional phase of mid-century coastal development, stretching between the Gulf of Mexico and the marshy reaches of West Bay. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of inlets and tidal flats, including Delehide Cove, Starvation Cove, and Carancahua Cove. These waters are separated from the open sea by West Beach, where a primary artery, Stewart Road, facilitates the island's expansion. Significant photogrammetric revisions from 1969 reveal the emergence of new residential canals and a Golf Course carved into the wetlands near Lake Como. This survey serves as a vital record for tracing the evolution of coastal property and the stabilization of formerly shifting features like Carancahua Reef and Hoeckers Pt before further modern urbanization changed the shoreline.
