1955 Map of Potrero Cortado

About this map

Padre Island and the shallow expanse of Laguna Madre dominate this coastal landscape, showing the complex barrier island system of Kenedy County before extensive modern development. The map details a transition from the salt spray and shifting sand dunes of the barrier island to the western ranch lands, where survival relied on a network of deep water sources like the Carnestolendas Artesian Well and Maria Petra Artesian Well.
