Decros Point sits at the southwestern tip of Matagorda Peninsula, serving as a critical geographic marker where the barrier island meets the sea. This coastal landscape is defined by its maritime infrastructure, most notably the Matagorda Ship Channel which cuts through the peninsula to connect the Gulf of Mexico with the sheltered waters of Matagorda Bay. The map reveals the intricate shoreline and shoals of this shifting environment, including the path of the Intracoastal Waterway running parallel to the mainland.
