2016 Map of Panther Point NE

About this map

Matagorda Island anchors the northwestern corner of this coastal survey, representing a slender portion of the Texas barrier island chain. The landscape is dominated by the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico, illustrating the maritime character of Calhoun County as it appeared in the mid-2010s. The map serves as a record of the shoreline and maritime boundaries during a period of ongoing coastal change, showing the interface between the Gulf and the protected lands of the island. Beyond the small landform of the island, the sheet is primarily a hydrographic study of the offshore expanse, marked by the county's nautical limits.
