Padre Island forms a thin, shifting barrier along the Texas coast in this 2013 survey of the Potrero Lopeno SE region. This map is defined by the stark transition where the low-lying shoreline meets the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico, illustrating a landscape shaped by coastal processes and tidal influence. The interior of the island is depicted with intricate patterns of wetlands and small inlets, showing how the barrier island protects the mainland from the sea. Because this quadrangle covers a predominantly aquatic area within Kenedy County, it emphasizes the maritime geography of the region rather than inland development, making it a clear record of the coastline's position in the early 21st century.
