About this map

Galveston Island stretches across the lower portion of this survey, showing the mid-1970s development of coastal communities like Sea Isle and Bay Harbor. Connected by the Termini San Luis Pass Road, these residential areas sit along the shore of West Bay, where numerous small inlets like Snake Island Cove and Maggies Cove create a complex shoreline for local navigation. North of the bay, the landscape is defined by vast marshlands and the winding path of Halls Bayou, which flows past isolated Fishing Cabins toward Halls Lake.

Transport and industry are centered on the Intracoastal Waterway, which cuts a straight path through the wetlands to facilitate barge traffic. Interesting landmarks like Rattlesnake Mound and The Narrows provide reference points for those studying the natural topography before modern expansion, while labels for Drillo Holes and the Amarada Cut suggest the legacy of resource exploration in the region's shallow waters.
