Padre Island National Seashore dominates this 2016 coastal survey, where the barrier island meets the Gulf of Mexico. The landscape is a complex of wetlands and tidal flats, characterized by significant terrain features like Potrero Lopeno and El Toro. Unlike more developed stretches of the Texas coast, this section of Padre Island remains largely focused on the preservation of the maritime environment. Transportation into the area is limited to E Turcotte Rd, which skirts the western edge of the coastal wetlands near Banderia Point. This map provides a clear record of the intricate shoreline and low-lying geography of Kenedy County before more recent shifts in coastal morphology.
