2010 Map of San Luis Pass

About this map

Galveston Island terminates at its southwestern tip on this coastal survey, where the narrow barrier landform meets the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The landscape is defined by the thin corridor of San Luis Pass Rd, which serves as the primary artery connecting the island's interior to the pass. To the north, the protected waters of West Bay press against the shoreline, creating a complex of small inlets and marshy edges such as Red Fish Cove. The map documents the geomorphology of the barrier system before further natural or man-made shifts, including the distinct separation of San Luis Island. This 2010 edition focuses on the maritime boundary and transportation link of the Texas coast, providing a clear view of the relationship between the bay, the gulf, and the island's low-lying terrain.
