2022 Map of Crane Islands SW

About this map

Padre Island serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, where the suburban expansion of Corpus Christi meets the shifting sands of the Texas coast. The map illustrates a dense network of residential streets such as White Cap Blvd and Park Rd 22 that transition into the undeveloped shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico. The development pattern is deeply influenced by the surrounding water, with finger canals and lagoons providing water access to numerous properties. To the north, the Intracoastal Waterway and Packery Channel highlight the area's importance for both navigation and recreation. A distinct municipal boundary divides the landscape where the Nueces Co and Kleberg Co line cuts across the island near Fourmile Hill, marking a administrative shift in this seafaring community.
