1954 Map of Flake

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Bolivar Peninsula stretches between the Gulf of Mexico and Galveston Bay, defining a landscape where maritime transport and coastal settlement intersect. This mid-century survey shows the community of Flake and the nearby Parrs Grove, positioned alongside the Intracoastal Waterway. A notable piece of local infrastructure is the Old Railroad Grade running parallel to State Route 87, providing a clear record of the area's former transit corridor. To the north, the shallow waters of East Bay are divided by Hanna Reef, while smaller features like Oyster Lake and Elmgrove Pt punctuate the marshy shoreline. The presence of the Port Bolivar Cem and scattered landmarks like Masts Exposed in the Gulf highlight the human history and navigational hazards of this narrow coastal strip during the 1950s.
