1952 Map of St. Charles Bay SW

About this map

The coastal threshold of the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge and Blackjack Peninsula dominates this 1952 coastal survey. The landscape is defined by the shallow marine environments of St Charles Bay and Aransas Bay, where numerous named hazards like Halfmoon Reef and Long Reef underscore the navigational challenges of the era. The presence of the Intracoastal Waterway cutting through the bays highlights the mid-century industrial importance of these waters, specifically for the oil and gas industry as evidenced by various Oil Wells and Gas Wells marked across the shoals.
