1952 Map of Mosquito Point

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

San Antonio Bay dominates this coastal survey, where the Intracoastal Waterway cuts a straight path through the shallow waters toward Matagorda Island. The landscape is defined by its shifting marine features, including extensive Shell Reefs, the hazardous Panther Reef, and the protective barrier of the Matagorda Island Bombing and Gunnery Range. Along the shoreline, extraction activity is evident through numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells clustered near the Mud Flats. Small, evocative landmarks like Big Bird Island, Little Bird Island, and Mosquito Point provide essential navigation points in an environment where the boundary between land and water is often fluid. The presence of the military range on the barrier island reflects the mid-century strategic use of these remote coastal stretches, while the dredging at Panther Cut highlights the ongoing engineering required to maintain maritime commerce.
