1971 Map of Estes

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Coastal development and industrial activity define this survey of the Texas shoreline between Aransas Bay and Corpus Christi Bay. Along the Southern Pacific railroad line, localized growth appears at City-by-the-Sea and Palm Harbor, while the Carbon Black Plant and a large Tank Farm near Kosmos indicate the region's mid-century petroleum and manufacturing footprint. The intricate network of barrier islands and shallow waters, including Taylor Island and the Estes Flats, is bisected by the Intracostal Waterway, showing the critical role of shipping channels in this landscape. Notable landmarks such as the San Antonio Cem and the evocatively named Quarantine Shore on Harbor Island offer specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the shifting boundaries between land and sea.
