About this map

Magnolia Beach and Alamo Beach anchor this coastal landscape along the western shores of Lavaca Bay. The map documents a low-lying marshy environment defined by a complex network of lagoons and inlets, including Old Town Lake, Blind Bayou, and the expansive Powderhorn Lake to the south. This area is deeply tied to its maritime and aviation heritage, featuring the Nautical Landing Marina near the northern harbor and Big Duke's Place Airport positioned near the marshlands.

Local history is preserved at the Indianola Cem and Old Town Cem, serving as markers of earlier settlement patterns near Indian Point. The coastal geography is further detailed by landforms such as Gallinipper Point and Rhodes Point, while the presence of Indianola Island illustrates the shifting nature of the shoreline. The road network, including FM-2760 and FM-2717, connects these small communities to the surrounding bayous and reefs.
