2016 Map of Lamar

About this map

Lamar Peninsula separates the vast waters of Copano Bay from the surrounding wetlands and estuaries of the Texas Gulf Coast. This coastal landscape is defined by its intricate network of marine features, including submerged hazards and fishing grounds such as Copano Reef, Pier Reef, and Lap Reef Bank. The community of Holiday Beach occupies the northern reach of the peninsula, characterized by residential streets like Northview Dr and Mesquite Tree Dr, while the historic settlement of Lamar anchors the southern tip near Park Rd 13. The geography reflects the transition from open bay to salt marshes at Turtle Pen Flats and the winding course of Copano Cr, which marks the boundary between Aransas and Refugio counties. Modern transit is facilitated by the Lyndon B Johnson Cswy, connecting these coastal communities across the water to the south.
