About this map

Gregory and Portland anchor this coastal landscape along the northern shores of Nueces Bay and Corpus Christi Bay. In the early 21st century, the area shows a transition from agricultural fields crisscrossed by drainage networks like the Taft Drainage Ditch to industrial and residential development. A massive industrial presence is evidenced by the Reynolds Metal Company Reservoir Dam, a landmark of the local manufacturing economy that dominates the eastern waterfront.

Smaller residential clusters like Doyle, Nueces Bay Colonia, and Crescent Center line the coastal roads, while the interior is marked by the San Patricio Memorial Gardens and Hunt Airport. Transportation is defined by the rail lines and major highways converging at the junction in Gregory, connecting the northern settlements of Tradewinds and Midway to the expanding urban centers. The grid of county roads, such as Co RD 102 and Midway Rd S, provides a framework for the rural homesteads still scattered among the cultivated tracts.
