2022 Map of Port Arthur South

About this map

The industrial shoreline of Port Arthur and West Port Arthur meets the marshy expanse of the Texas-Louisiana border in this contemporary study. The landscape is defined by its massive water-control and shipping infrastructure, including the Intracoastal Waterway and the Sabine Neches Canal, which carve through the coastal wetlands. Named features like Texaco Island, West Basin, and East Basin highlight the area's role as a major maritime and petrochemical hub. Beyond the dredged channels, the natural geography persists in the sprawling waters of Sabine Lake and the intricate network of Taylor Bayou, Salt Bayou, and Johnson Lake. The map details the transition from the grid-patterned streets of the city, such as W Thomas Blvd and Texas Ave, to the unpopulated marshes of Cameron Parish across Sabine Pass. This survey illustrates the delicate balance between high-intensity navigation and the expansive coastal prairie.
