About this map

The maritime gateway of Sabine Pass dominates this coastal landscape, where the state boundary between Louisiana and Texas meets the Gulf of Mexico. The small settlement of Sabine sits just inland from the Anchorage Basin, supported by critical infrastructure including a U S Coast Guard Station, a Heliport, and a Pilot Station for guiding vessels through the deep East Jetty Channel.

Conservation and history are preserved in the marshy terrain of Texas Point National Wildlife Refuge and the Sabine Pass Battleground State Historical Park. The map reveals the complex hydrology of the region, from the winding Lighthouse Bayou to the elevated Hackberry Ridge, alongside the industrial presence of an Old Military Reservation and scattered Gas Wells that speak to the Gulf's 20th-century economic drivers.
