2022 Map of Potrero Lopeno NW

About this map

Padre Island National Seashore dominates the eastern half of this Kenedy County coastal landscape, where the barrier island meets the shallow lagoons and sand flats of the Texas coast. The terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands and salt flats, featuring landforms like Potrero Lopeno and El Toro. These named points and ridges suggest the traditional grazing grounds of the South Texas ranching country that once transitioned into the Laguna Madre. Along the western edge, E Turcotte Rd provides one of the few points of land-based access, leading toward the shoreline at Banderia Point. The map illustrates the shifting boundaries between the mainland and the iconic Padre Island, capturing a sparsely populated region where ecological preservation and historical ranching boundaries intersect.
