About this map

Trinity Bay defines the eastern shoreline of this Chambers County landscape, where the coastal prairie meets the marshes of the Texas gulf coast during the early 1940s. The map reveals a sparse network of early roads and family-named landmarks that hint at the area's transition from rural acreage to localized development. Settlement activity is concentrated along the western edge of the bay, characterized by the Fisher Cem and the Optimist Camp. Small coastal features like Cedar Gully cut into the shoreline, while the inland area is marked by survey points such as Beazley and Beazley 2. A handful of thoroughfares, including McKinney Rd and Tri-City Rd, connect the small bayside clearings to the larger regional network. This survey, mapped by the Tennessee Valley Authority for the War Department, provides a clear view of the bay's edge before the significant industrial and residential expansion of the mid-century transformed the coastline.
