1961 Map of Smith Point

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Smith Point projects into the waters where Trinity Bay and Galveston Bay meet, serving as a hub for the coastal energy and fishing industries of the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by its maritime infrastructure, featuring an extensive network of pipelines and a high density of offshore extraction points within the Red Fish Reef Oil Field and the Umbrella Point Oil Field. A glance at the shoreline reveals landforms like Morgan Pt and Trout Pt, alongside the prominent Red Fish Bar. On land, the small community of Smith Point is home to the Davis Cem, providing a focal point for genealogical research in this coastal corner of Chambers County. The map also captures the natural environment of the Vingt-et-un Islands and the essential maritime artery of the Trinity River Channel.
