2022 Map of Matagorda SW

About this map

The Colorado River meets the Gulf of Mexico along the Texas coast in this contemporary survey of Matagorda County. This particular environment is defined by its shifting aquatic landscape, where the river mouth is flanked by Tiger Island and Greek Island. These landforms, protected by the Dog Island Reef, create a complex network of coastal waterways including the Tiger Island Channel and Zipperian Bayou. While much of the area remains dominated by the waters of Matagorda Bay, localized infrastructure along the shoreline is visible through thoroughfares such as Market St and Beach Front Rd. The map illustrates the delicate geography of the barrier islands and river delta, highlighting the narrow corridors of coastal access provided by Dunes Dr and Co Rd 220 before they yield to the open sea.
