1952 Map of Decros Point

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Matagorda Peninsula stretches as a narrow barrier between the Gulf of Mexico and Matagorda Bay, providing a vital buffer for the Texas coast in the early 1950s. This survey highlights the secluded Matagorda Club complex at the southwestern end of the peninsula, accessible via the Matagorda Club Airport and its accompanying Clubhouse. The landscape is characterized by its isolation, with several sites marked as Flowing Well scattered along the dunes, likely serving the local ranching or club operations. Nautical infrastructure is prominent, including the Intracoastal Waterway and the tip of the land at Decros Point, which marks the entrance to the bay. The map also records the Calhoun and Matagorda county line as an indefinite boundary crossing the marshy terrain.
