1932 Map of Mustang Bayou

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

Arcadia sits at the northern edge of this coastal plain study, surveyed in 1929 by S.B. O'Hara for the Texas Reclamation Department. The map reveals a transition from surveyed settlement to a large Unsurveyed Area that dominates the central portion of the sheet. This distinction likely reflects the drainage and reclamation priorities of the era, focusing mapping efforts on the higher ground and developed corridors while leaving the lower coastal marshlands less detailed. The boundary between Galveston Co and Brazoria Co cuts diagonally across the northeastern corner, following a clear property and survey line that defines the local jurisdictional geography. Because much of the terrain is left blank, the few named features and established roads near the settlements provide essential anchors for understanding the early 20th-century development of the Texas Gulf Coast hinterlands.
