2019 Map of Saint Charles Bay

About this map

The community of Lamar sits at the southern tip of the Lamar Peninsula, where the waters of Saint Charles Bay meet Aransas Bay. This coastal landscape is defined by its complex network of points and bayous, including Meile Dietrich Point to the north and Bill Mott Bayou to the east. The map captures a transition between the established residential street grid of Lamar—featuring sites like Lamar Cem and the Kalt Ranch Airport—and the protected natural reaches of Goose Island. The Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the bay system, passing Bludworth Island and leading toward Carlos Bay. This area is a critical junction for maritime activity and ecological preservation along the Texas Gulf Coast, with numerous named geographical features like Egg Point and Dunham Point illustrating the intricate shoreline of the Aransas and Saint Charles basins.
