1920 Map of Seabrook
USGS Topo · Published 1920About this map
Seabrook and the surrounding coastal wetlands of Harris County are documented here during a period of burgeoning rail connectivity and bayfront development. The landscape is defined by the complex estuary system where Middle Bayou, Taylor Lake, and Clear Creek converge into Clear Lake before entering Galveston Bay. This 1916 survey highlights early educational and social infrastructure, such as the Old Middle Bayou School and the Clear Lake Inn, alongside the leisure-oriented settlement of Killkare. Significant transportation corridors are well-established, including the Southern Pacific System and the Galveston Houston Electric lines, which supported the movement of people and goods between Houston and the coast. The presence of a Dredged Channel in the lake and a Power Plant to the southwest near Webster points to the early industrial engineering of the Texas shoreline.
