1930 Map of Padre Island No. 1

USGS Topo · Published 1930

About this map

Padre Island stretches between the Gulf of Mexico and Laguna Madre in this 1930 advance sheet compiled from early aerial photography. This specific coastal segment is characterized by extensive Mud Flats along the western shoreline, illustrating the dynamic and shifting nature of the barrier island environment before modern development. At the southern end of the sheet, the presence of an (Abandoned Hotel) provides a unique marker of early coastal infrastructure and the hazards of maritime isolation. The map was produced through the cooperation of the Cameron County commissioners, including A. W. Cunningham and W. O. Washington, reflecting local efforts to chart these remote reaches of the Texas coast during the interwar period.
