1952 Map of Brown Cedar Cut

About this map

Matagorda Peninsula forms a narrow, shifting barrier between the open Gulf of Mexico and the protected waters of East Matagorda Bay in this mid-century coastal survey. At the center of the sheet, the natural inlet of Brown Cedar Cut breaks the peninsula, serving as a vital exchange point for tidal waters and local navigation. The land here is dominated by low-lying marshes and maritime terrain, featuring Boggy Bayou and the isolated Turkey Island near the mainland edge.
