2019 Map of Panther Point NE

About this map

Matagorda Island occupies the northwestern corner of this coastal survey, where the barrier island's edge meets the expansive waters of the Gulf of Mexico. This map captures a largely aquatic landscape along the Texas coast in Calhoun County, defined by the narrow strip of land that separates the interior bays from the open sea. The sparse terrestrial detail reflects the isolation of this stretch of the barrier island system, characterized by low-lying terrain and tidal wetlands. The mapping of this area focuses on the delicate boundary between land and gulf, recording the shoreline's position in the years leading up to the 2019 publication.
