2016 Map of Smith Point

About this map

The coastal convergence of Trinity Bay, Galveston Bay, and East Bay defines this maritime landscape along the boundary of Chambers and Galveston Counties. At the heart of the peninsula lies the settlement of Smith Point, a community defined by its proximity to the water and its network of local roads such as Smith Point Rd and Hawkins Camp Rd. Historical evidence of local residency is marked at the Davis Cem, while the surrounding waters reflect the region's heavy reliance on maritime commerce through the Houston Ship Channel and the Trinity River Channel. The geography is characterized by intricate coastal features like Vingt-et-un Islands, Red Fish Bar, and Morgan Point, indicating a complex system of passes and bars that have long influenced navigation and fishing in the Gulf of Mexico.
