1963 Map of San Luis Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Galveston Island narrows to its southwestern tip in this 1960s study, where the coastal landscape is dominated by tidal flats and shifting sands. The map centers on the critical opening of San Luis Pass, the natural inlet connecting the shallow waters of West Bay to the expansive Gulf of Mexico. Along the gulf side, the long stretch of West Beach is traversed by the Termini-San Luis Pass Road, providing the primary terrestrial link for the small settlement at Bay Harbor. This record of the shoreline captures the area prior to significant modern coastal development, showing the proximity of Red Fish Cove to the pass and the maritime boundary between Galveston and Brazoria counties as it existed mid-century.
