2022 Map of Pita Island

About this map

Pita Island and the shallow, complex waters of the Laguna Madre define this coastal survey south of Corpus Christi. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by both natural hydrology and human engineering, visible in the winding Natural Channel and Natural Gut contrasted against the straight dredge line of the Intracoastal Waterway. To the east, the protected expanse of Padre Island National Seashore preserves the barrier island ecosystem, while the western shore near Alf Waldron shows the encroaching street grid of coastal development, including Laguna Shores Rd and Yorktown Blvd. Significant local maritime features are meticulously documented, from deep basins like Beacrofts Hole and Oalesby Hole to the marshy edges of Laguna Larga. The boundary between Nueces Co and Kleberg Co cuts across the bay, marking the administrative limits of these South Texas wetlands.
