2025 Map of Matagorda

About this map

The settlement of Matagorda sits at the nexus of the Colorado River and the Intracoastal Waterway, serving as a gateway to the complex coastal hydrology of the Texas Gulf Coast. This modern survey illustrates the intricate network of islands and bayous that define the river delta, including Selkirk Island to the north and McNabb Island near the river's bend. The town plan is clearly delineated, showing a residential grid with street names like Matagorda Ave and Austin St E, alongside the Matagorda Cem north of the main village. To the south, the landscape dissolves into the expansive waters of Matagorda Bay and East Matagorda Bay, separated from the open sea by the narrow Matagorda Peninsula. This area is characterized by shifting shoals and shallow inlets like Saint Marys Bayou and Boiler Bayou, highlighting the constant environmental movement at the edge of the Gulf of America.
