About this map

Smith Point occupies a strategic peninsula where the waters of Trinity Bay, Galveston Bay, and East Bay converge. This 2022 survey illustrates the contemporary layout of the coastal community, which is centered on a grid of local roads such as Asa John St and Smith Point Rd. The landscape is defined by its maritime environment, featuring prominent landmarks like Morgan Point, Trout Point, and the chain of Vingt-et-un Islands situated just offshore.

Navigation and recreation are central to the area's character, evidenced by the proximity of the Houston Ship Channel and the presence of James H. Robbins Park. Local history is anchored by the Davis Cem, while family-named thoroughfares like Jeri Nelson Rd and Plummer Camp Rd reflect long-standing ties to the land and the surrounding fisheries. The map also delineates the boundary between Chambers and Galveston Counties extending across the open water.
