1944 Map of Sabine Pass

About this map

Sabine Pass dominates this coastal landscape at the mouth of the Sabine River during the mid-1940s. The settlement's street grid and structures are clearly defined alongside the waterway, showing the area's development before modern shoreline changes. Extensive wetlands and numerous lakes, including Knight Lake and Keith Lake, characterize the low-lying terrain north of the Gulf of Mexico. Historical researchers will find significant family and local history markers such as Pace Cem and Mc Gaffey Cem situated along the main road, which is labeled as route 87. The map also captures the intricate network of coastal inlets like Red Fish Bayou and the rise of Wildcat Ridge, providing a clear record of the Jefferson County coast just as modern industrial expansion was taking shape in the region.
