1929 Map of Virginia Point
USGS Topo · Published 1929About this map
Industrial expansion and coastal infrastructure dominate this 1929 landscape, where multiple rail lines converge at Virginia Point before crossing the Galveston Causeway. The network includes the Galveston Electric RR, Texas City Terminal RR, and several major freight lines serving the growing port facilities at Texas City. Extensive Dredge Dumps near the shoreline reflect the heavy maritime engineering of the era, while the inland areas around La Marque and Texas City Junction show the transition from coastal marsh to developed rail hubs. The intricate drainage of the Texas shoreline is visible through the winding paths of Highland Bayou, Basford Bayou, and Campbell Bayou as they empty into Galveston Bay and West Galveston Bay.
