1943 Map of Virginia Point

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The industrial and maritime corridors of Galveston County take center stage in this mid-war study by the War Department and the Tennessee Valley Authority. Rapid development is evident in the rail-heavy landscape around Lamarque and Texas City, where the Texas City Terminal and Southern Pacific lines converge to feed the coastal ports. The map captures the vital transportation link at Virginia Point, where the Galveston Causeway bridges the gap between the mainland and Galveston Island.
