2013 Map of Brown Cedar Cut
USGS Topo · Published 2013About this map
Matagorda Peninsula forms a narrow, protective barrier between the open Gulf of Mexico and the marshy interior waters of Matagorda County. This 2013 survey documents a dynamic coastal environment where the Brown Cedar Cut serves as a vital tidal opening, connecting East Matagorda Bay to the sea. The landscape is defined by its transition from salt-water estuaries to the slender strip of the peninsula, with Turkey Island and Live Oak Bay marking the more sheltered northern reaches of the quadrangle. The map illustrates the fragile relationship between the Texas mainland and the shifting sands of the peninsula, providing a clear record of the shoreline and water passages that define this section of the coast.
