1954 Map of Caplen

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Bolivar Peninsula separates the churning Gulf of Mexico from the calmer waters of East Bay in this mid-century look at the Texas coast. The landscape is defined by the Intracostal Waterway cutting through the marshy interior, which connects Yates Cove and Big Pasture Bayou to the larger shipping lanes. Small coastal communities like Caplen and Patton are situated along the thin strip of habitable land between the Gulf beach and the wetlands of Crab Lake.
