The Lamar Peninsula anchors this coastal survey, where the historic community of Lamar sits overlooking the confluence of Saint Charles Bay and Aransas Bay. This maritime landscape is defined by its complex shoreline, characterized by numerous points and bayous such as Melle Dietrich Point, Bill Mott Bayou, and Little Devil Bayou. The map illustrates the region's connection to the Intracoastal Waterway, which cuts through the southern reaches between Black Jack Peninsula and the northern tip of San Jose Island. For those researching local history or genealogy, the residential grid of Lamar is shown in detail, including the Lamar Cem and the Kalt Ranch Airport further inland. The survey captures a modern view of this environmentally sensitive area, documenting the Third Chain of Islands and various reefs that protect the inner bays.
