1969 Map of Pita Island

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Padre Island National Seashore and the shallow expanse of the Laguna Madre dominate this coastal survey, where the barrier island landscape shifts between Shifting Sand and established wildlife areas like North Bird Island. The 1960s economy of this Kleberg County shoreline is defined by a dense network of energy infrastructure and ranching outposts. Numerous offshore Oil Wells and Gas Wells dot the waterway, while the mainland is marked by a distinctive series of named livestock landmarks, including Matanza Windmill, Encina Sola Windmill, and Guajolote Windmill. The presence of Waldron Field and the Intracoastal Waterway highlights the region's importance for both naval operations and maritime transit during this era of coastal development near Corpus Christi.
