About this map

Bolivar Peninsula stretches between the Gulf of Mexico and Galveston Bay, providing a detailed view of this coastal landscape as it appeared in 2016. The map documents the residential patterns of communities like Crystal Beach and Bolivar Beach, where a dense network of roads such as Biscayne Beach Blvd and Lagoon Dr serve a population tied closely to the water. The area's maritime and aviation infrastructure is evident, with the Intracostal Waterway cutting behind the peninsula and the Seafood Warehouse Park Airport located near Stingaree Cove.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Port Bolivar Cem near the western end of the sheet, while environmental researchers can trace the intricate tidal features of Dredgeboat Slough, Elmgrove Lake, and the complex marshes around Goat Island. Landmarks like Pepper Grove Point and Hanna Reef define the transition between the peninsula and the open bay, illustrating the vulnerable, dynamic geography of the Texas coast.
