DESCRIPTION

Chart of San Luis Pass into West Bay, Texas. This chart details the entrance between Peninsular Point, San Luis Island, and Galveston Island. The chart has some details showing a hotel and a couple of houses. Included are depth soundings, bearings, bottom conditions and aids, and hazards to navigation along with sailing directions and tidal remarks for the mariner.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

All of our United States Coast Survey (USCS), United States Coast & Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), and similar maps and charts have been professionally unfolded and flattened using humidity baths, semi-permeable membrane, and drying blotter techniques. Most others you typically see on eBay have not been, and worse, are quickly and crudely unfolded for the low-quality photos you see. Unfolding these maps in that way is damaging and weakens them. Please be aware.
