2016 Map of Port Lavaca East

About this map

Port Lavaca sits on the edge of Lavaca Bay and Chocolate Bay on this 2016 survey, showcasing a landscape defined by the meeting of the Texas coastal plains and the Gulf of Mexico. The map documents the persistent human presence along these shifting shorelines, where modern street grids in Magnolia Beach contrast with the wetland-rich areas surrounding Old Town Lake. Notable for local history, the map records several landmarks of the earlier 19th-century settlement era, including the Indianola Cem on Indianola Island and the Old Town Cem near Indian Point. The coastal geography is highly detailed, marking points of interest such as Sand Point Reef, Gallinipper Point, and San Luis Springs. The interior is crisscrossed by a network of farm-to-market roads and local lanes like Margie Tewhey Rd and Zimmerman Rd, serving a region where ranching and maritime access have long shaped the local economy.
