About this map

The industrial and coastal character of the Harris and Chambers County border is recorded here in the early 1990s. Heavy industry and maritime commerce dominate the landscape, from the massive Refinery complex in the northwest to the intricate Cedar Bayou Channel and numerous oil wells dotting Tabbs Bay. The established grid of Baytown is depicted with detailed street names like Texas Ave and Market St, while local institutions such as Lee College and Memorial Stadium serve as community hubs.

Natural features provide a contrast to the petrochemical infrastructure, including the marshy reaches of Fisher Marsh and the long, protective stretch of Atkinson Island in Galveston Bay. Genealogists may find value in the location of the Hill of Rest Cem and several neighborhood schools including Lamar Sch and Bowie Sch. The map effectively captures the interface between the Missouri Pacific rail lines and the complex system of levees and ship channels that define this portion of the Texas Gulf Coast.
