1935 Map of Padre Island NO. 2

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Padre Island stretches across this mid-1930s survey, representing a narrow, unyielding barrier between the open Gulf of Mexico and the shallow waters of the Laguna Madre. This edition, compiled from aerial photographs taken by the Air Corps U.S. Army, focuses on the raw coastal geometry before significant modern development or stabilization efforts reached this section of the Texas coast. The map illustrates the shifting nature of the shoreline and the isolation of the island’s terrain during this era, when the landscape was defined primarily by wind and tide rather than human infrastructure.
