About this map

Lavaca Bay and Matagorda Bay dominate this coastal landscape, where the tides shape a complex network of wetlands and tidal flats. Near the historic shoreline, Magnolia Beach serves as a primary settlement point, connected to the interior by routes like FM 2760 and Washington Ave. The map captures a transition between the established streets of eastern Port Lavaca and the more remote, marshy reaches of Indianola Island and Blind Bayou.

Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint several significant landmarks, including the Old Town Cem situated near the waters of Old Town Lake. The presence of Big Duke's Place Airport near Indian Point reflects the modern development of the area alongside prominent natural features such as Sand Point Reef and Gallinipper Point. This 2019 survey documents a landscape where aviation, coastal residence, and the Gulf's expansive waters meet.
