About this map

Texas City and the surrounding coastal communities of San Leon, Bacliff, and La Marque define this industrial and maritime landscape along Galveston Bay. The map reveals a complex interface of land and water, featuring massive infrastructure like the Galveston County Industrial Water Reservoir and the Galveston County Water Reservoir situated near Moses Bayou. This era of the shoreline is marked by prominent landforms including Edwards Point, Dollar Point, and Eagle Point, which frame the shallow reaches of Dickinson Bay and Moses Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several important community landmarks, such as the Texas City Memorial Cem, Phillips Memorial Cem, and Rising Star Cem. The presence of the Coll of the Mainland near the intersection of the Emmett F Lowry Expy and Galveston Rd highlights the educational footprint in the region, while the dense grid of residential streets in Heights and Nadeau illustrates the suburban expansion of the mid-2010s.
