About this map

Baffin Bay and the interconnected waters of the Texas Gulf Coast define this landscape at the turn of the 21st century. The map centers on the confluence of several significant coastal bodies, where the wide expanse of the bay meets Alazan Bay and the narrow passage of Cayo Del Infiernillo. This environment is characterized by its distinct coastal points and peninsulas that reach into the shallow, salty waters, serving as critical landmarks for local navigation and coastal history.

Kleberg Point and its counterpart, East Kleberg Point, anchor the western and eastern edges of this shoreline, while the curiously named Starvation Point projects into the central waters. The topography is largely defined by the water's edge and low-lying coastal terrain, illustrating the intricate shoreline of Kleberg County before modern climate and sea-level shifts further altered these Texas wetlands.
