About this map

Baytown and the surrounding coastal industrial landscape dominate this 2010 survey, showcasing the dense street grids of neighborhoods like Pelly and Roseland Manor. The shoreline is defined by its deep relationship with the petroleum industry, evidenced by the Goose Creek Oil Field and the Cedar Point Oil Field. Along the waterfront, the Morgans Point Historic District stands as a distinct cultural landmark near the mouth of the San Jacinto River, where it meets the shipping lanes of the Cedar Bayou Channel.

Natural geography and recreational spaces are woven into the industrial corridor, from the marshy expanses of Atkinson Island to the youth camps of Camp Allen and Camp Sterling near Beach City. Waterways like Goose Creek and Cedar Bayou carve through the terrain, punctuated by features such as Devils Elbow and Evergreen Point. The map provides a detailed view of how the modern infrastructure of State Spur 55 and FM 1405 Rd facilitates movement between these residential centers and the vast waters of Galveston Bay.
