Gulf of Mexico waters dominate this coastal survey, where the maritime boundary of Texas meets the shoreline of Kenedy County. The map reveals the narrow, undeveloped stretch of Padre Island along the western edge, protected within the Padre Island National Seashore. This specific segment captures the barrier island's character before any significant modern encroachment, showing the interplay between the open gulf and the fragile terrestrial ecosystem of the seashore. Because so much of the area is submerged or protected federal land, the map serves as a primary reference for the shifting coastal topography and the exact positioning of the Kenedy County line as it extends into the gulf.
