1994 Map of Oak Island
USGS Topo · Published 1994About this map
Trinity Bay dominates the western half of this Chambers County coastal study, where the waters meet a landscape defined by petrochemical extraction and low-lying marshes. The presence of the Trinity Bay Oil Field, Fishers Reef Oil Field, and North Fishers Reef Gas Field indicates an intensive industrial footprint offshore, while the settlement of Oak Island sits protected behind the Eagle Levee. The area’s geography is shaped by the complex confluence of the Trinity River Channel and the Double Bayou, which splits into the East Fork and West Fork. Genealogists and local historians can locate community landmarks such as Crook Cem, Godfrey Cem, Mt Zion Ch, and St Paul Ch. This map records the late-century infrastructure of the Texas coast, from the Radio Tower and Sewage Disposal plant to public spaces like Job Beason Park and Double Bayou Park.
