1954 Map of Flake

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Bolivar Peninsula stretches between the Gulf of Mexico and Galveston Bay, showing a landscape defined by both maritime industry and coastal settlement. This 1954 survey, updated through the mid-1970s, documents the growth of Crystal Beach and the small community of Flake along the central spine of the peninsula. The engineering of the Texas coast is evident in the straight cut of the Intracoastal Waterway and the nearby Dredgeboat Slough, while an Old Railroad Grade provides a clear trace of earlier transportation infrastructure that once connected these isolated coastal reaches. Researchers of local genealogy will find the Port Bolivar Cem near the gulf shore, while maritime historians can study the complex oyster reefs and passes of the East Bay side, including Hanna Reef and Moodys Pass.
