1952 Map of Decros Point

About this map

Matagorda Peninsula separates the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico from the sheltered reaches of Matagorda Bay, providing a critical barrier for the Texas coastline. This 1952 topographic survey reveals a landscape shaped by maritime navigation and recreational development, centered on the Matagorda Club and its associated Clubhouse. The peninsula's remote geography necessitated specialized infrastructure, notably the Matagorda Peninsula Airport, which served as a primary access point for the area.
