2019 Map of Crane Islands SW

About this map

Padre Island serves as the focal point for this coastal survey, where modern residential development meets the barrier island’s shoreline. The northern section of the map reveals a dense network of canal-front streets and drives, including Whitechapel Blvd and Fortuna Bay Dr, designed to maximize waterfront access. This suburban expansion within Corpus Christi is bounded to the north by the Packery Channel and the Intracoastal Waterway, critical maritime arteries for the region. To the south, the landscape transitions into the open terrain of Fourmile Hill, while a prominent county line marks the boundary between Nueces County and Kleberg County. Much of the map's area is dedicated to the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico, illustrating the delicate balance between high-density coastal living and the vast marine environment.
