2025 Map of Crane Islands NW OE E

About this map

Mustang Island defines the western edge of this coastal survey, where the barrier island landform transitions into the open expanse of the Gulf of America. This specific sheet, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, focuses almost exclusively on the maritime environment and the delicate boundary between the Texas shoreline and the sea. The sparse terrestrial data reflects the low-lying, shifting nature of the island terrain in this portion of Nueces County. Researchers and maritime historians can examine the precise coastal coordinates and the bathymetric orientation of the Gulf waters as they were mapped in the mid-2020s, providing a reference point for shoreline change and barrier island stability.
