2010 Map of Seadrift

About this map

Seadrift serves as the primary coastal hub on this portion of the Texas shoreline, situated where the grid of the town meets the waters of San Antonio Bay. The landscape is a study in transition between maritime activity and inland resource extraction, defined by the extensive Long Mott Oil Field to the north and the jagged protrusion of Swan Point into the bay. Significant for local family researchers, the map identifies the Seadrift Cemetery and the more isolated Stiernberg Cemetery, reflecting the early settlement patterns of Calhoun County. A network of rural roads such as Old Seadrift Hwy and Old Settlement Rd connects these burial grounds and small homesteads to the harbor. The northern reaches of the quadrangle are drained by East Coloma Creek, transitioning from the open coastal prairie toward the more developed industrial and residential zones near the water.
