Padre Island stretches across this coastal survey, defined by the narrow barrier between the Gulf of Mexico and the Intracoastal Waterway. The southern portion of the sheet reveals the growing street grid of South Padre Island, where primary thoroughfares like Ocean Blvd, Padre Blvd, and Gulf Blvd parallel the shoreline. This landscape illustrates the delicate balance of a shifting coastal environment, with sand dunes and wetlands depicted north of the main development. The map provides a detailed look at the island's morphology just before 2020, capturing the extent of human footprint on this thin strip of Texas coast.
