2013 Map of Palacios

About this map

The coastal waters of Tres Palacios Bay and Matagorda Bay define the landscape of this southern Texas region in the early twenty-first century. The settlement of Palacios occupies a prominent position on the western shore, showcasing a dense grid of streets such as Newsome Blvd and Duson Ave that transition into the aviation grounds of the Palacios Municipal Airport and the historical site of Camp Hulen. Across the water to the east, the smaller community of Collegeport sits near the Collegeport Cem and the rise of Pepper Hill, illustrating the more sparse, rural development of the Matagorda County peninsula.
