About this map

Chinquapin Landing serves as the primary coastal touchpoint along the northern edge of East Matagorda Bay, situated where the mainland meets the vast marshy networks of Live Oak Bayou and Big Boggy Cr. This coastal survey documents the intricate geography of the Texas shoreline, dominated by the narrow strip of the Matagorda Peninsula which separates the bay from the Gulf of Mexico.

The landscape is defined by its hydraulic connections, including the Big Boggy Cut and the expansive Eidelbach Flat. Named features such as Dressing Point and Kain Cove highlight specific landforms used by local mariners and fishermen navigating these shallow waters. The map provides a precise view of the tidal environment, from Boggy Lake to the meandering Cleveland Bayou, during the early twenty-first century.
