2010 Map of Port Aransas

About this map

Port Aransas sits at the gateway of the Texas coast, centered on the northern tip of Mustang Island where it meets the shipping channel and Corpus Christi Bay. This 2010 survey illustrates a landscape defined by maritime infrastructure and leisure, from the research facilities at the University of Texas Marine Science Institute to the recreational hubs at the Port Aransas City Marina and Horace Caldwell Pier. Across the channel, the Aransas Pass Lighthouse stands on Harbor Island, a stark landmark amidst the vast marshy expanses of the East Flats and Pelone Island. The map records the coastal development of Mustang Beach and Holiday Beach, documenting the shoreline as it existed just before the turn of the decade.
