2019 Map of Morgans Point

About this map

The industrial and maritime landscape of the upper Texas coast centers on the confluence of Cedar Bayou and the Houston Ship Channel. In this 2019 survey, the residential grids of Baytown and the legacy neighborhood of Pelly are defined by the winding paths of Hull Gully and Pine Gully as they drain toward Tabbs Bay. This area illustrates the complex balance between dense infrastructure, such as the Barbours Cut container terminal, and the surrounding coastal wetlands. To the south, the map details the narrow peninsula of Morgan's Point and the island chain including Atkinson Island and Spilmans Island, which guard the entrance to Galveston Bay. Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds like Hill of Rest Cem and the Gaillard-Mitchell Cem, while the eastern shore shows the residential development of Beach City overlooking Trinity Bay.
