2022 Map of Potrero Cortado OE E

About this map

Padre Island National Seashore dominates the western portion of this coastal survey, where the narrow barrier island separates the open sea from the inner lagoons. The map captures a moment in the early 2020s when the shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico remains largely undeveloped, preserving the primitive character of the Kenedy County coast. Because of the limited human infrastructure shown, the sheet provides a specialized look at the shifting interface between land and sea, focusing almost entirely on the hydrographic and coastal boundaries of this protected maritime environment.
