1952 Map of Potrero Lopeno

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Padre Island dominates this 1952 coastal survey, revealing a landscape of shifting dunes and shallow waters along the Kenedy County coast. The Intracoastal Waterway cuts a straight line through the Laguna Madre, flanked by numerous Spoil Banks that highlight the engineering efforts to maintain this vital maritime passage. To the west, the mainland is defined by the extensive Potrero Lopeno and the prominent Rincon de San Jose. Local navigation and industrial activity are marked by the presence of a lone Oil Derrick in the lagoon and a Meteor landmark near the shore. Small, named landforms like El Toro, Banderia Pt, and Southeast Point suggest a geography of isolated rises and points amidst the Sand and Mud flats, while unidentified Ruins provide a silent record of earlier human presence in this dynamic barrier island environment.
