1952 Map of Palacios Point
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
Palacios Point and the narrow barrier of the Matagorda Peninsula anchor this coastal survey, where the Gulf of Mexico meets the sheltered waters of Matagorda Bay. The mid-century landscape is defined by the engineered path of the Intracoastal Waterway, which cuts a straight line through the complex marshlands and islands of Oyster Lake. Several Flowing Wells are marked on the northern peninsula, suggesting the vital importance of accessing fresh water in this saline environment.
