About this map

Smith Point serves as the focal point of this coastal survey where the waters of Trinity Bay, Galveston Bay, and East Bay converge. The landscape is defined by its intricate shoreline, featuring prominent landforms such as Morgan Point, Trout Point, and Frankland Point. The map provides a contemporary look at the maritime infrastructure of the region, specifically the Houston/Ship Channel and the Trinity River Channel, which facilitate industrial navigation through these bays.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific road networks like Hawkins Camp Rd and Plummer Camp Rd that lead toward the small settlement. The presence of Davis Cem near the eastern shore offers a point of interest for family researchers. The map also captures the Vingt-et-un Islands and the Red Fish Bar shoal, highlighting the shallow water features and natural barriers that have long influenced the navigation and development of this Chambers County peninsula.
