About this map

Baytown serves as the industrial and civic anchor of this 1982 survey, where the heavy industry of the Refinery and Substa meets the residential growth around Lee College. The map captures the complex interaction between the shipping economy and the coastal landscape of Harris Co and Chambers Co. Infrastructure like the Houston Ship Channel and Barbours Cut dominate the waterfront, while the natural contours of Cedar Bayou wind past Ash Lake and Negrohead Lake.

Residential life is well-documented through local landmarks including St Pauls Ch, Hill of Rest Cem, and several neighborhood schools such as Carver Sch and Horace Mann Sch. To the south, the transition to the more open waters of Galveston Bay and Trinity Bay is marked by distinctive coastal features like Atkinson Island and Hog Island, showing the vital maritime pathways of the Upper Texas Coast.
