1952 Map of Matagorda SW

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Matagorda Peninsula forms a narrow barrier between the high-energy waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the calmer reaches of Matagorda Bay. This 1952 topographic survey captures the delicate hydrology of the Texas coast before major modern interventions, highlighting the discharge of the Colorado River as it cuts through the peninsula. Local navigation and coastal life are centered around the natural inlets and hazards, such as Dog Island Reef and Tiger Island Channel.
