About this map

Copano Bay dominates this coastal landscape, where the shifting margins of land and water are defined by a complex network of reefs and points. The settlement of Lamar sits at the southern edge, its residential grid of streets like Hickory St and Pine St meeting the shoreline near Pier Reef. To the north, the planned development of Holiday Beach spreads along the Aransas County coast, characterized by a dense network of residential drives including Channelview Rd and Northview Dr.

Submerged geography is as critical as the terrestrial here, with features like Lap Reef Bank and the Copano Bay Oil and Gas Field indicating a landscape of both ecological complexity and industrial utility. Coastal navigation and drainage are marked by tidal features such as Plumbers Slough, Turtle Pen Point, and the inflow of Cavasso Cr, providing a detailed look at the Texas shoreline before more recent environmental shifts.
