Image Caption: STS51C-143-13 Upper Texas Coast, Sam Rayburn Reservoir across the Mississippi Valley.

The city of Houston and Galveston Bay (1 & 2) dominate the upper coast of Texas. Beaumont is at 3 and Lake Charles at 4. Even though this view is wide angle and oblique, much detail shows up in land-use
patterns and coastal waters (for example, the turbidity in Galveston Bay and Gulf of Mexico).
