About this map

The coastal convergence of Jefferson County and Cameron Parish defines this maritime landscape where the Louisiana and Texas border meets the Gulf of Mexico. At the center of this industrial and natural crossroads is Sabine Pass, a vital waterway connecting inland commerce to the open sea. The settlement of Sabine sits just north of Mud Lake, with its local street grid including Welch St, Quinn St, and S 7th Ave terminating near the water's edge.

Navigation is the primary theme of the terrain, marked by the Jetty Channel, Pass Channel, and the Outer Bar Channel which facilitate movement past Louisiana Point and Texas Point. To the east, the marshy geography is punctuated by Hackberry Ridge and Lighthouse Bayou, reflecting a coastal environment shaped by both tide and trade. The western edge of the map shows the outskirts of Port Arthur, emphasizing the region's role as a major maritime gateway.
