1952 Map of Hawk Island

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The coastal interface of Laguna Madre and the South Texas brushland is meticulously documented in this early 1950s survey. The landscape is defined by the transition from shallow tidal flats of sand and mud to the established marshes of the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge. This area serves as a critical hydrological junction where the Arroyo Colorado meets the lagoon, bordered by significant landmarks such as Goose Hill and various unnamed spoil banks created by dredging.
