About this map

The Bolivar Peninsula stretches between the Gulf of Mexico and Galveston Bay, defining the maritime character of this coastal landscape. The 2010 survey details the delicate geography of the barrier island, where the Intracoastal Waterway cuts behind settlements like Elmgrove and Stingaree. This corridor is essential for regional transit, supported by facilities such as the Bolivar Yacht Basin Marina and the Seafood Warehouse Park Airport near Patton Woods.

Residential development is concentrated along the gulf side, specifically around Crystal Beach and Bolivar Beach. Away from the main thoroughfares, smaller landmarks like the Port Bolivar Cemetery and local bayou systems like Bacon Bayou and Oyster Lake reveal the traditional footprints of coastal life. Submerged features such as Hanna Reef and named channels like Ladies Pass and Moodys Pass illustrate the navigational complexity of the surrounding waters.
