About this map

Redfish Bay and the intricate coastal interface of the Live Oak Peninsula anchor this mid-1970s study of the Texas Gulf Coast. The town of Aransas Pass is shown at a point of significant transition, with urban expansion noted in the street grids of Wheeler Ave and Goodnight Ave. Industrial and maritime activity is evident at the Turning Basin and Conn Brown Harbor, while the Southern Pacific railroad links these coastal hubs to the interior.

Away from the harbor, the landscape transitions into the low-lying wetlands of Mc Campbell Slough and Spears Lake. Local history is preserved in the locations of the Prairie View Cem and the small settlement of Millsville. To the southwest, the growth of Ingleside is documented near its Tank Farm and Water Tank, illustrating the region's reliance on both petroleum infrastructure and coastal commerce during this era.
