1952 Map of Palacios Point

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Matagorda Peninsula creates a narrow, protective barrier between the open Gulf of Mexico and the maritime traffic of the Texas coast. This 1952 topographic study, based on hydrography from the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, emphasizes the critical navigational corridors of the mid-century, specifically the Intracoastal Waterway with its various daybeacons and lights. The landward side is defined by the marshy interface of Oyster Lake and the mouth of Palacios Bayou.
