1994 Map of Umbrella Point

About this map

Point Barrow and the surrounding coastline of Chambers County define this coastal landscape, where the land meets the vast waters of Trinity Bay. The map illustrates a region dominated by the energy industry of the mid-to-late 20th century, evidenced by the extensive Trinity Bay Oil Field and the Umbrella Point Oil Field with their numerous gas wells and drill holes. The coastline is dotted with family-named landmarks that hint at the area's pioneer history, such as the Barrow Cem and Fisher Cem. Leisure and public access are represented by McCollum County Park and facilities along Beach Road, while the Baytown Corporate City Bdy marks the encroachment of urban expansion into this maritime environment. Coastal features like Fisher Shoals and Fishers Reef highlight the complex underwater topography vital to local navigation and industry.
