1952 Map of North Of Port Isabel NW

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Padre Island is the central focus of this 1950s coastal survey, depicting the dynamic barrier island landscape along the South Texas coast. The map captures a wilderness of Shifting Sand Dunes, some reaching elevations up to 23 feet, and extensive Sand Flats that transition into the shallow waters of the Laguna Madre to the west. This period of mapping precedes the major development of the region, showing the pristine state of landmarks like Negro and Camwill near the Willacy Co Cameron Co Approximate Bdy. The expansive reach of the Gulf of Mexico dominates the eastern half of the sheet, with hydrographic soundings from 1939 providing a detailed look at the offshore depths before mid-century changes. The lack of cultural features or roads emphasizes the isolation of this stretch of the Texas coastline during the early post-war era.
