1932 Map of Sabine Pass NE

About this map

Sabine Pass serves as the critical maritime artery in this early 1930s survey, marking the jurisdictional boundary between Louisiana and Texas. The map highlights the engineered navigable channel, flanked by the prominent East Jetty and West Jetty that extend deep into the Gulf of Mexico. Along the western shoreline, the Southern Pacific railroad corridor runs parallel to the water, terminating near the coastal marshlands. This era captures the shoreline before significant modern erosion, detailing natural coastal features like Louisiana Point and the winding Lighthouse Bayou. A notable historical landmark is the Lighthouse positioned near the jetties, while the East Bdy Old Military Reservation line provides a glimpse into the region's earlier strategic land use and federal presence at the mouth of the Sabine River.
