2010 Map of Crane Islands SW

About this map

Padre Island dominates this coastal survey, showing the residential and navigational development along the barrier island's eastern shore. The map details the developed grid between S Padre Island Dr and the beach, where the Bob Hall Pier extends into the Gulf of Mexico. Navigational markers like Light Twentyone and Range A Light indicate the critical importance of maritime safety in these shifting waters. Inland from the Gulf, the elevation rises slightly at Fourmile Hill, providing a rare point of relief on the otherwise low-lying coastal terrain. This 2010 edition records the footprint of coastal infrastructure including Punta Espada Loop and Palmira Ave before subsequent decades of coastal change.
