2016 Map of Mosquito Point

About this map

San Antonio Bay and the vast expanse of the Gulf of Mexico dominate this coastal survey of Calhoun County. The landscape is defined by a network of islands and navigation channels, including Turnstake Island, Little Bird Island, and Grass Island. The Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the bays, providing a vital maritime corridor between Shoalwater Bay and the open gulf. This map illustrates the intricate coastal geomorphology of the Texas shoreline, where features like Panther Reef and Panther Reef Cut suggest a dynamic underwater environment. On the northern edge, terrestrial access is limited to Falcon Point Rd and Lodge Rd, leading toward the marshy tip of Mosquito Point. The southern portion is anchored by the northern reaches of Matagorda Island, separated from the mainland by passes such as Steamboat Pass and South Pass.
