2019 Map of La Parra Ranch NE

About this map

Baffin Bay dominates the northern reaches of this coastal Texas landscape, where the tides meet a complex network of wetlands and tidal flats. Along the southern shoreline of the bay, Black Bluff stands as a notable landmark on the edge of the Kenedy County ranchlands. This 2019 survey documents a largely undeveloped stretch of the Gulf Coast, characterized by intermittent water bodies like Pie de Gallo and numerous unpaved ranch roads that snake through the brush and sandy terrain. The map's detail on ephemeral water and wetland distribution illustrates the shifting nature of this sensitive coastal environment, providing a modern baseline for researchers interested in the preservation of the Texas shoreline and the management of these historic cattle ranch territories.
