About this map

Smith Point stands as a prominent coastal landmark at the convergence of three major Texas waterways: Galveston Bay, Trinity Bay, and East Bay. This coastal landscape is defined by the shallow waters and shoals of Red Fish Bar and Middle Pass, which dictate the maritime navigation patterns of the region. The map captures the specialized infrastructure of the Gulf Coast energy industry, highlighting the offshore footprints of the Smith Point Oil Field and the Redfish Reef Oil Field.

Local history and genealogy are anchored at the Davis Cemetery, located near the intersection of Jeri Nelson Rd and Smith Point Rd. The surrounding terrain features a network of points and islands, including Vingt-et-un Islands, Trout Point, and Morgan Point. The road network, comprising routes like Hawkins Camp Rd and James H. Robbins Pkwy, reflects the rural coastal development and access to the productive bay waters.
