1952 Map of Potrero Cortado

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Padre Island stands as a slender barrier against the Gulf of Mexico, separated from the mainland by the shallow expanse of Laguna Madre. This coastal landscape is defined by its shifting sand dunes and mudflats, particularly around the complex of islands known as potreros. Isolated features like the Lopeño Artesian Well and Medanito Well suggest the vital importance of fresh water in this hypersaline environment during the early 1950s.
