Why this spot
1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico; the island port fronts the harbor channel and Offatts Bayou
Texas's leading 19th-century cotton port and one of the wealthiest bottle-era towns in the state; dense commercial and residential build-out gives deep, layered deposits.
