1957 Map of Texas Point

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The maritime border between Texas and Louisiana is defined here by the critical maritime corridor of Sabine Pass Channel. This coastal landscape, documented by the Army Map Service and Geological Survey, showcases the infrastructure of a mid-century ship channel, including the West Jetty and East Jetty extending into the Gulf of Mexico. The small settlement of Sabine sits near the Anchorage Basin, where the U S Coast Guard Sta and a Radio Tower managed traffic through these shifting waters. Significant historical and military tracts are noted, such as the Sabine Pass Lighthouse Reservation containing an Abandoned Lighthouse and the Old Military Reservation near Hackberry Ridge. Navigational markers like the Radio Beacon, Old Beacon, and a remote Pilot Station emphasize the area's role as a vital gateway for commerce and defense at the edge of the Jefferson County and Cameron Parish line.
