About this map

Bayside sits along the western shoreline of Copano Bay, marking a coastal landscape where the Aransas River meets the tidal flats of the Gulf Coast. This 2016 survey shows the town's grid and the neighboring settlement of Old Saint Marys, a location with deep roots in Texas maritime history. The map details the complex geography of the surrounding waters, including the expansive Egery Flats and submerged features like Forty Acre Reef and Snellbank Reef, which are critical to the local fishing and ecological environment.

Inland, the terrain is characterized by agricultural roads such as Pocket Farm Rd and Leo Miller Rd that crisscross the low-lying plains. To the south, Port Bay and its winding Italian Bend highlight the intricate coastal wetlands. The map also identifies local landmarks like the Bayside Cemetary Rd and the quiet community of Tradewinds, providing a clear view of how this coastal region has maintained its character into the 21st century.
