2013 Map of Flake

About this map

The Bolivar Peninsula stretches between the Gulf of Mexico and Galveston Bay, showcasing a coastal landscape defined by residential developments and maritime infrastructure. Settlements such as Crystal Beach and Bolivar Beach are laid out in dense street grids, while quieter areas like Patton Woods and Elmgrove suggest a mix of seasonal and permanent habitation. The peninsula’s economy and recreation are grounded in the water, evidenced by the Bolivar Yacht Basin Marina at Sievers Cove and the Seafood Warehouse near Stingaree. Local history is anchored at the Port Bolivar Cem and the small airfield at Park Airport. The topography is a complex network of marshes and inlets, including Dredgeboat Slough and Freshwater Bayou, illustrating the dynamic nature of the Texas gulf coast's barrier landforms.
