About this map

Texas A and M University at Corpus Christi occupies the shores of Corpus Christi Bay at the northern edge of this coastal survey, where urban expansion meets the intricate waterways of the Texas coast. The map illustrates a landscape defined by significant military and educational infrastructure, notably the Corpus Christi Naval Air Station/Truax Field and Waldron Field. Between the bay and the Laguna Madre, the Encinal Peninsula and the community of Flour Bluff are shown with a dense network of residential streets and access roads like S Padre Island Dr.

Hydrological features are central to the area's layout, from the winding path of Oso Creek to the expansive Oso Bay. Local landmarks such as the Oso Fishing Pier, Mud Bridge, and the Barney M Davis Cooling Reservoir Dam highlight the intersection of natural water systems and human engineering. Genealogists may find interest in the proximity of Seaside Memorial Cemetery and Aberdeen Cemetery to the waterfront developments, while the inland Papalote Del Norte Windmill suggests a shift toward the more rural characteristics of the Nueces County coastal plain.
