1952 Map of Pass Cavallo SW

About this map

Matagorda Island serves as a critical military and maritime outpost in the early 1950s, dominated by the active footprint of the Matagorda Island Air Force Base. The landscape is defined by its strategic position between the Gulf of Mexico and Espiritu Santo Bay, featuring a sprawling Bombing and Gunnery Range that occupies much of the barrier island's interior. A concentrated base area near the Control Tower includes various tanks and buildings, along with a small Cem, reflecting the self-contained nature of this military installation.
