About this map

Live Oak Ridge dominates the western coastline of this 1923 survey, serving as the topographical spine for early settlements like Aransas Pass and Ingleside. The region's economy at this time was defined by its connection to the sea and rail, with the San Antonio and Aransas Pass railroad terminating near the coast. A Draw Bridge spans the water toward Hog Island Bay, connecting the mainland to the complex maritime infrastructure of Port Aransas and the United States Military Reservation on Mustang Island.

Tracing the coastline reveals several local landmarks of genealogical interest, including the Aransas Pass L H and the Mc Gloin Bluff. Local education is well-documented through rural sites like the Mc Campbell School and Oak Grove School. Beyond the developed harbors, the map details the intricate geography of the Lydia Ann Channel and the expansive Sand Dunes of St Joseph Island, showing the barrier islands before mid-century development altered the shoreline.
