1994 Map of Flake

About this map

Bolivar Peninsula is defined by its precarious position between the Gulf of Mexico and Galveston Bay, showing a landscape of coastal settlement and maritime infrastructure in the late 1980s. The community of Crystal Beach serves as a primary hub, while the interior is marked by the Intracoastal Waterway and a series of protective levees. Local industry and utility are evident through scattered oil wells, Tanks, and a Heliport, contrasting with the natural tidal flats and bayous like Big Elmgrove Bayou. Genealogists and historians can locate the Port Bolivar Cemetery near the settlement of Flake, while surveyors and coastal researchers can trace the Old Railroad Grade and the indefinite Galveston Corporate Boundary crossing the peninsula.
