1943 Map of San Luis Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The southwestern tip of Galveston Island is the primary focus of this mid-century coastal survey, showing the dynamic landscape where West Bay meets the Gulf of Mexico. At the very edge of the island, the San Luis Coast Guard Sta. and its Cupola stand as a sentinel over the unpredictable waters of San Luis Pass. The map captures the shoreline during World War II, a period when this stretch of West Beach remained largely undeveloped, characterized by a single Telephone Line tracing the coast.
