Wetlands Lost to Development in Circum-Galveston Bay - USGS Quadrangles
Evaluating Loss of Wetlands in the Galveston Bay Area

Figure 6.

Figure 6. Four of the quadrangles in the study area with highest development from 1992-1999. Green lines area wetlands and water bodies (1992 NWI). Red polygons are NWI wetlands destroyed by development by January of 1999. Gray lines are overlay of growth areas in a selected area of League City. These areas are either under development (close lines) or in preparation for development (widely-spaced lines).
