2010 Map of Bayside

About this map

Bayside and the nearby historical site of Old Saint Marys occupy the western shoreline of Copano Bay, a landscape defined by the convergence of the Aransas River and multiple estuarine systems. This coastal region in Refugio County shows a complex network of wetlands and shallow water features, including Egery Flats and Swan Lake. Industrial activity is evident through the South Copano Bay Oil Field and the Reynolds Metals Company Dam, which impounds the Reynolds Metals Company Lake. The terrain is marked by coastal points like Black Point and oyster reefs such as Snellbank Reef and Forty Acre Reef, illustrating the area's maritime ecology and resource-based economy. Local infrastructure is noted by roads reaching into the marshes, such as Egery Island Rd and Bayside Cemetary Rd.
