1943 Map of Port Bolivar

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Galveston Bay and the narrow tip of the Bolivar Peninsula dominate this mid-century maritime survey, documenting the critical shipping arteries serving the Texas coast. The strategic importance of the peninsula is evident at the settlement of Port Bolivar, where Fort Travis and several Observation Towers overlook the water. These military and navigational aids guarded the entrance to the bay during and after the war years.
