1957 Map of Texas Point

About this map

The maritime gateway of Sabine Pass defines this coastal boundary between Texas and Louisiana, where the Sabine Pass Channel cuts through the marshlands toward the Gulf of Mexico. The landscape is dominated by the strategic infrastructure of the mid-20th century, including the U S Coast Guard Sta, a Pilot Station, and the sprawling Sabine Pass Lighthouse Reservation. A notable marker of the area's navigational history is the Lighthouse (Abandoned) situated near Lighthouse Bayou. On the western shore, the small settlement of Sabine and the shoreline at Texas Point stand across the water from Louisiana Point. Inland, the marshy terrain is broken by Hackberry Ridge and the Old Military Reservation Boundary, reflecting the area's long-standing importance for coastal defense and navigation.
