About this map

Atkinson Island and the Houston Ship Channel dominate this coastal landscape where the industrial energy of the Gulf Coast meets the waters of Galveston Bay and Trinity Bay. The area is shaped by intensive maritime and energy infrastructure, from the deep-water access of Barbours Cut near Morgans Point to the Goose Creek Oil Field and Cedar Point Oil Field. Inland, residential development is visible in neighborhoods like Roseland Manor and the established streets of Pelly.

The map records a complex shoreline marked by numerous inlets and points, including Ash Point, Houston Point, and the Devils Elbow along Cedar Bayou. For local researchers and genealogists, the survey identifies several community landmarks, such as the Hill of Rest Cem, Camp Sterling, and Camp Allen, alongside the intricate network of gullies like Sutton Gully and Pine Gully that drain into the bay.
