2019 Map of Matagorda SW
USGS Topo · Published 2019About this map
The Colorado River meets the Gulf of Mexico along this stretch of the Texas coastline, where the dynamic barrier island environment is defined by shifting sands and intricate waterways. Navigation through Matagorda Bay is supported by the Tiger Island Channel, which bypasses the natural obstructions of Dog Island Reef and various low-lying landforms like Tiger Island and Greek Island. On the mainland side, Zipperian Bayou winds through the coastal wetlands, reflecting the complex hydrography of Matagorda County. This 2019 survey documents the modern road network serving the beachfront, including Market St, Dunes Dr, and Beach Front Rd, illustrating the intersection of residential development and the natural movement of the Gulf's shoreline.
