About this map

Galveston Island's coastal morphology is captured here during the mid-1990s, revealing a landscape defined by the transition from the Gulf of Mexico to the intricate network of inlets on West Bay. The area shows a distinct contrast between the developed corridors of Jamaica Beach and Nottingham and the preserved marshlands of Galveston Island State Park. The shoreline is heavily indented by features such as Dalehite Cove, Starvation Cove, and Dana Cove, reflecting the complex hydrology of the barrier island.

Notable cultural and recreational markers include the Mary Moody Northern Amphitheater Footbridge and the legendary Lafitte Grove. The map also traces a series of historical thoroughfares, from Stewart Road to the numbered routes like Tenmile Road, which provide the backbone for local access. Extensive tidal flats and the Seawall highlight the ongoing human efforts to manage the delicate boundary between land and water in this high-energy coastal environment.
