1925 Map of Aransas Pass

About this map

Live Oak Ridge and Oak Ridge form the spine of this coastal landscape, looking out over the intricate estuaries of Red Fish Bay and Aransas Bay in the early 1920s. The settlement at Aransas Pass is shown as a burgeoning coastal hub, serving as the junction for the San Antonio and Aransas Pass railroad. The map documents a critical period of maritime infrastructure, featuring the Draw Bridge spanning the pass to Harbor I and the prominent Aransas Pass LH guiding traffic near the United States Military Reservation. Along the western shore, small communities and educational landmarks like the Ingleside School and Mc Gloin Bluff overlook the waters of Corpus Christi Bay, illustrating the localized settlement patterns of Ingleside and its neighboring bayfront camps before later twentieth-century industrial expansion.
