About this map

Corpus Christi serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, where the city’s dense street grid meets the expansive waters of Nueces Bay and Corpus Christi Bay. The landscape is a complex intersection of industry and history, anchored by the Joe Fulton Corridor and Navigation Blvd which trace the northern industrial waterfront. For genealogists, the map is remarkably detailed in its recording of local burial grounds, including the historic Old Bayview Cemetery near the shoreline and the larger Holly Cross Cemetery and Rose Hill Cemetery complexes further inland.

The residential character of the 21st-century coast is visible in areas like North Beach and Corpus Christi Beach, while the western edge of the quadrangle is defined by the Corpus Christi International Airport and the transition into more open lands near Flour Bluff Junction. Across the bay, the map captures the rural footprint of Rosita Ranch and its associated Rosita Cemetery, providing a stark contrast to the urban development of the city proper.
