Texas City and the surrounding Galveston County coastline appear here during a period of transition, surveyed just before the 1930s. The map shows a landscape defined by its intricate shoreline, where Dickinson Bay and Moses Lake dominate the central geography. To the north, the planned grid of San Leon and the resort character of Clifton by the Sea stand in contrast to the emerging industrial footprint of the south. This era is heavily marked by the rail infrastructure necessary for coastal trade, including the Southern Pacific and the Galveston Houston and Electric lines.
