About this map

Arkansas Bay and Redfish Bay dominate this coastal landscape, where a complex network of islands and shoals separates the mainland from the Gulf of Mexico. In the early 21st century, residential developments like City-by-the-Sea and Palm Harbor show the transition of the shoreline toward recreation and maritime living, supported by the Palm Harbor Marina and Fin and Feather Marina. These modern settlements contrast with the older coastal footprint indicated by the Old Terminal and the San Antonio Cemetery.

The aquatic environment is defined by named depressions and landforms such as California Hole, Estes Flats, and the long reach of San Jose Island. These features, along with Stedman Reef and Quarantine Shore, provide a detailed look at the hydrology of the Corpus Christi Bay periphery. The map also captures smaller named points of interest like Kosmos and Stedman Island, which sit along the edges of the major bay systems.
