1955 Map of La Coma

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge dominates this coastal landscape, protecting a complex network of winding resacas and tidal inlets along the Laguna Madre. Established ranching operations like the Buena Vista Ranch and Granjeno Ranch sit alongside evidence of mid-century infrastructure, including the Cameron County Airport and an Old Railroad Grade. The transition from land to sea is marked by several named islands such as Barclay Island and Gatlin Island, while the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the bay. Notable for local history are several abandoned firing ranges scattered near the shoreline, signaling a change in land use from military or tactical training to conservation and limited aviation near Bayview.
