About this map

Indianola Cemetery serves as a quiet reminder of the history along this stretch of the Texas coast, where the waters of Matagorda Bay and Lavaca Bay converge. The landscape is defined by its complex shoreline, characterized by features like Gallinipper Point and the shallow expanse of Chocolate Bay. Small communities such as Alamo Beach and Magnolia Beach are connected by a network of coastal roads including N Ocean Dr and FM 2760.

Maritime activity is central to the area, evidenced by the Nautical Landing Marina near Port Lavaca and the S and S Marina further south toward Powderhorn Lake. The presence of Big Dukes Place Airport and numerous inlets like Blind Bayou and Old Town Lake illustrate a region shaped by both its aviation and seafaring heritage, providing a detailed view of the coastal topography just before the turn of the decade.
