2010 Map of Carancahua Pass

About this map

Matagorda Bay meets the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico in this coastal survey of the Texas shoreline. Located south of the mainland, the map focuses on the hydrologic boundary where the bay's protected waters transition into the gulf. This 2010 edition, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, reflects the modern maritime geography of the area, though it contains no terrestrial contour data or land-based settlements. The lack of interior landmarks emphasizes the maritime focus of the quadrangle, serving as a clean record of the coastal interface and water bodies along this stretch of Matagorda County.
