Padre Island forms a thin barrier between the vast Gulf of Mexico and the Texas mainland in this 2019 coastal survey. This specific portion of the coast is dedicated to the Padre Island National Seashore, preserving the shoreline as it transitions from the sandy beaches of the island into the open sea. The map primarily documents the maritime boundary of Kenedy County, following the line where the land meets the gulf. The minimal development shown reflects the protected status of the seashore, highlighting the natural geography of the barrier island system before it reaches the deeper waters of the Gulf.
