2013 Map of Kleberg Point

About this map

Baffin Bay and Alazan Bay dominate this coastal survey of Kleberg County, where the intricate shoreline of the Texas Gulf Coast is defined by shallow bay waters and low-lying points. The map details the convergence of these primary water bodies, separated by the prominent landform of Kleberg Point and its eastern counterpart, East Kleberg Point. The landscape is largely maritime, characterized by the narrow passage of Cayo del Infiernillo and the isolated reach of Starvation Point. This 2013 U.S. Geological Survey record provides an essential view of the hydrography and undeveloped coastal reaches before further modern changes, tracing the natural contours of the South Texas brush country shoreline where it meets the hypersaline waters of the Laguna Madre system.
