About this map

Goose Creek, Baytown, and Pelly anchor this coastal landscape during a period of significant industrial and maritime growth along the Cedar Bayou Ship Channel. The map illustrates a complex network of transportation and industry, with both the Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific railroads serving the urban centers. This 1943 survey documents the shoreline before major later expansions, showing the intricate wetlands of Fisher Marsh and Swan Marsh alongside family-named landmarks like Mesquite Knoll and Evergreen Pt. The boundary between Harris and Chambers counties bisects the area, crossing through tidal waters near Negrohead Lake and Ijams Lake. For genealogists, the Hill of Rest Cem and street-level detail in the northern settlements provide specific points of interest for locating former residences and community landmarks during the war years.
