About this map

Bolivar Peninsula stretches between the Gulf of Mexico and Galveston Bay, showcasing a landscape defined by coastal salt marshes, tidal inlets, and residential expansion. In the eastern portion, Crystal Beach exhibits a dense grid of beach-access roads and canals, while the western reaches remain more topographical with features like Dredgeboat Slough and Sievers Cove. The Intracoastal Waterway serves as a vital artery for maritime traffic, separating the main peninsula from islands such as Goat Island. Genealogists and local researchers can locate the Port Bolivar Cem near the center of the peninsula, providing a fixed point of historical reference amidst the shifting sands of Bolivar Beach. From the aviation facilities at Seafood Warehouse Park Airport to the reefs of Hanna Reef, this survey documents the complex geography of the Texas coast.
