1919 Map of Morgan Point

About this map

Goose Creek and Morgan Point anchor this coastal landscape during a period of significant maritime and industrial development. This 1919 edition, based on 1916 surveys, shows the coastal geography of the San Jacinto Bay and Galveston Bay junction. The emerging community at Goose Creek is depicted with its early road network, including the Lynchburg and Goose Creek Road and the local Goose Creek School. The maritime importance of the area is evident in the detailed mapping of the Cedar Bayou Ship Channel and the S. P. System railroad line reaching into Bay Ridge. The map also captures several shoreline features and islands, such as Atkinson Island and Spilmans Island, alongside complex water bodies like Ash Lake and Negro Lake near the Harris and Chambers county line.
