About this map

The city of Portland and the northern reaches of Corpus Christi are separated by the waters of Nueces Bay in this 2016 survey of the Texas Gulf Coast. This area is defined by its maritime infrastructure and the transition from the developed shoreline of San Patricio County to the expansive bay. The Nueces Bay Causeway and Indian Point Pier serve as critical links and recreational points at Indian Point, while the interior of Portland shows established residential grids along Shore Dr and E Bayview Blvd.

Navigation and coastal geography dominate the lower half of the map, centered on the Corpus Christi Channel as it cuts through Corpus Christi Bay. Submerged hazards and natural features like Indian Reef, Alta Vista Reef, and Donnel Reef are meticulously charted. The presence of Sunset Lake and La Quinta Island illustrates the complex wetland and island systems that characterize this portion of the Texas coastline.
