1944 Map of Texas Point

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

The Sabine Pass Lighthouse Reservation and Coast Guard Station anchor this strategic coastal landscape where the Texas and Louisiana border meets the Gulf of Mexico. Surveyed during the height of the Second World War by the Tennessee Valley Authority for the War Department, the map captures the critical infrastructure surrounding the entrance to the ship channel at Sabine. The maritime significance of the area is emphasized by the U S Quarantine Station and the long protective fingers of the West Jetty and East Jetty extending into the gulf. Inland, the marshy terrain is defined by natural features like Hackberry Ridge and Mud Lake, while Dick Dowling State Park stands on the Texas side as a landmark of local history. This survey provides a precise record of the shoreline and maritime facilities at Louisiana Point and Texas Point before mid-century coastal changes.
