2022 Map of Texas Point

About this map

Sabine stands as the primary outpost on this coastal survey, positioned where the Sabine Pass waterway connects the internal bayous to the Gulf of Mexico. The landscape is dominated by the intricate transition between land and sea, marked by tidal features such as Mud Lake and Texas Bayou. The strategic maritime importance of the area is evident in the engineered deep-water infrastructure, including the Anchorage Basin, Jetty Channel, and Outer Bar Channel, which facilitate traffic for Port Arthur. On the eastern side of the state boundary, the terrain rises slightly at Hackberry Ridge, while the shorelines of Texas Point and Louisiana Point define the entrance to the pass. This modern survey illustrates the persistent industrial and navigational focus of this border region, where Lighthouse Bayou and Pass Channel snake through a complex system of wetlands and coastal marshes.
