2010 Map of North of Port Isabel NW

About this map

Padre Island stretches along the Texas coastline, separating the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico from the shallow expanse of the Laguna Madre. This 2010 survey illustrates the dynamic coastal landscape of Cameron County, dominated by the barrier island's shifting sands and tidal flats. To the southwest, the shoals of Los Bancos de en Medio sit near the shoreline, marking a transition point between the bay and the sea. The map primarily documents the natural geography of the barrier island system during the first decade of the 21st century, providing a clear view of the interface between land and water before subsequent coastal erosion and storm cycles further altered the shoreline.
