1933 Map of Bolivar Point

USGS Topo · Published 1933

About this map

Galveston Bay dominates this maritime survey, illustrating the complex coastal geography of the Texas Gulf Coast in the early 1930s. The map highlights the strategic and navigational features essential to the region, including the elongated Hannah Reef and the isolated Hannah Island. Along the lower reaches, the Bolivar Peninsula extends toward the entrance of the bay, featuring Bolivar Point and the tactical positioning of the G C & S F railroad. A striking industrial feature is the Texas City Dike, stretching significantly into the water from the western shore. This edition was compiled using early aerial photography from the Army Air Corps, providing a specialized look at the shoreline and bathymetry before modern coastal developments altered these tidal environments.
