2013 Map of Port Ingleside

About this map

Corpus Christi Bay and the interconnected waters of Redfish Bay dominate this coastal landscape, illustrating the complex maritime geography of the Texas Gulf Coast. The settlement of Ingleside On-the-Bay sits along the northern shore, protected by the prominent McGloins Bluff and overlooking the deep-water access of the La Quinta Channel. The map details the intricate navigation systems required for these busy waters, including the Corpus Christi Channel and several aid-to-navigation landmarks like the Cut B East Range Light. To the south and east, the map transitions into the barrier island environments of Mustang Island and the bird-rich habitat of Shamrock Island. The presence of numerous named coves and cuts, such as Pink Shack Cove and Sinclair Cut, speaks to the long-standing importance of this area for local fishing, recreation, and commercial shipping.
