1952 Map of Dressing Point

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Matagorda Peninsula forms a narrow, salt-scrub barrier between the open Gulf of Mexico and the shallow expanse of East Matagorda Bay in this early 1950s survey. This coastal landscape is defined by the heavy engineering of the Intracoastal Waterway, where a levee and a dredging project maintaining a project depth of 12 feet separate the marshy mainland from the bay.
