1995 Map of Virginia Point

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

The industrial waterfront of Texas City and the expanding residential finger-islands of the Gulf Coast define this mid-1990s landscape. Heavy industry around the Turning Basin and Industrial Canal stands in stark contrast to the intricate wetlands of Jones Bay and West Bay. The map highlights the unique residential development of the Village of Tiki Island and the Village of Bayou Vista, where dredged canals created high-density waterfront living along the Intracostal Waterway. Inland, the established communities of La Marque and Hitchcock are detailed with their essential civic institutions, including La Marque Cem and Queen of Peace Ch. This era of mapping documents the complex management of the Texas shoreline, evidenced by the Highland Bayou Diversion Canal and the extensive Galveston and Texas City Causeway connecting the mainland to Galveston Island.
