About this map

Matagorda Island occupies the upper northwest corner of this maritime chart, where the barrier island meets the open expanse of the Gulf of Mexico. This coastal survey highlights the precarious interface between the Texas shoreline and the sea, focusing primarily on the offshore waters south of Calhoun County. The presence of the barrier island indicates the complex coastal geography of the region, where narrow strips of land protect the inland bays from the direct forces of the gulf. This map serves as a primary reference for the bathymetry and nautical orientation of this specific stretch of the Texas coast during the early twenty-first century.
