About this map

Texas City and the surrounding shoreline of Galveston Bay reveal a landscape defined by industrial infrastructure and coastal settlements during this early 21st-century survey. The map details the complex water management and maritime features of the region, including the Galveston County Water Reservoir and its associated Dam, alongside the Moses Lake Tide Gate which regulates the flow between Moses Lake and Dollar Bay. This period shows a mixture of residential expansion in neighborhoods like Nadeau and Heights with specialized aviation and maritime facilities such as the B and S Ultralight Airport and San Leon Marina.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant burial grounds, including Texas City Memorial Cemetery, Phillips Memorial Cemetery, and Rising Star Cemetery. The shoreline is meticulously mapped from Bacliff down to Shoal Point, noting coastal landmarks like April Fool Point, Edwards Point, and the Davison Home. The presence of the Humble Camp area further reflects the historical legacy of the region's energy sector development along the Dickinson Bayou corridor.
