About this map

The coastal interface of Baffin Bay and Alazan Bay defines this 1951 topographic study, capturing a landscape dominated by extensive Sand and Mud Flats and tidal inlets. The presence of several named water sources, such as Aceitera Artesian Well and Tiburcio Artesian Well, suggests the critical importance of freshwater management in this saline environment of the Texas coastline.

Topographic detail shows the complex shoreline of Cayo Del Infiernillo and prominent landmarks like Kleberg Point and Starvation Pt. Inland, the map reveals a sparse network of unimproved trails connecting various survey markers and ranch-related water features, including Viboras Well. The boundary between Kleberg and Kenedy counties is clearly delineated across the waters of the bay, marking a geopolitical divide through the uninhabited coastal reaches.
