2013 Map of Port Arthur South

About this map

Sabine Lake dominates the eastern half of this coastal landscape, serving as a backdrop to the industrial and maritime infrastructure of Jefferson County. The Sabine-Neches Canal cuts a distinct path through the wetlands, separating the mainland from Texaco Island and Pleasure Island Marina. In West Port Arthur, a dense street grid including James Gamble Blvd and Houston Ave transitions into the expansive marshlands and bayous of the Texas coast. To the south, the terrain dissolves into a complex network of water bodies such as Keith Lake, Johnson Lake, and Mud Lake. This area reflects the heavy footprint of the energy industry, evidenced by the Blue Buck Point Gas Field near the Louisiana border, where navigation and extraction define the use of the land.
