1952 Map of Palacios NE

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Matagorda Bay defines the southern edge of this coastal landscape, where the land meets the sea through a complex network of marshes, bayous, and islands. In the early 1950s, the Intracoastal Waterway carved a distinct path across the wetlands, separating the mainland from features like Mad Island and Shell Island Lakes. The northern reaches of the map show a transition toward agricultural and industrial utility, marked by an extensive system of levees protecting land around Little Robbins Slough and Robbins Slough. Evidence of earlier settlement is found at the Citrus Grove Sch (Abandoned) in the northwest, while the growing energy sector is visible through numerous Gas Well and Gas Wells labels. The Colorado River flows along the eastern boundary, weaving past Wild Cow Island and McNabb Island, illustrating the dynamic nature of this delta region.
