About this map

The Bolivar Peninsula stretches between the Gulf of Mexico and East Bay, showcasing a coastal landscape defined by early energy infrastructure and maritime activity. Small coastal settlements like Patton and Caplen line the gulf shore, while the inland side is dissected by Yates Bayou and Big Pasture Bayou. This 1950s-era survey reveals the mid-century industrialization of the Texas coast, marked by a cluster of Oil Wells, Oil Tanks, and a prominent Oil Derrick situated near Crab Lake.
