1932 Map of Bolivar Point

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

Galveston Bay dominates this maritime survey, illustrating the critical coastal geography of Southeast Texas in the early 1930s. Compiled from aerial photographs taken by the Air Corps, the map focuses on the strategic tip of the Bolivar Peninsula, where the land terminates at Bolivar Point. The presence of the G C & S F railroad line suggests the area's importance as a transportation corridor linking the peninsula to the mainland. Offshore, the survey meticulously documents hazardous maritime features such as Hannah Reef and Hannah Island, which are essential for navigating the approaches to the bay. This document was produced during an era of significant coastal engineering and monitoring, overseen by county officials including E. B. Holman and engineer C. C. Washington.
