2010 Map of North of Port Isabel SW

About this map

Laguna Madre and the Gulf of Mexico dominate this 2010 coastal survey, capturing a thin, shifting barrier landscape along the south Texas coast. This narrow strip of land, punctuated by features such as La Punta Larga and the tidal flats of Los Bancos de en Medio, illustrates the delicate boundary between the hypersaline lagoon and the open sea. The map reveals the intricate shoreline of the Los Tanques area, where the coastal geology is defined by constant overwash and sediment movement. With no roads or permanent structures indicated on this portion of the barrier, the map serves as a primary record of the natural state of the Texas shoreline just north of Port Isabel before subsequent storm cycles or environmental shifts altered these specific landforms.
