2019 Map of Potrero Lopeno SE

About this map

Padre Island dominates the western portion of this coastal survey, where a complex network of wetlands and shifting sands meets the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. This undeveloped stretch of the Texas coastline is preserved as the Padre Island National Seashore, representing the ecological and geological state of the barrier island system in the early 21st century. The map illustrates the contrast between the intricate tidal inlets and ponds of the island's interior and the vast maritime expanse to the east. The primary administrative feature is the maritime boundary for Kenedy County, Texas, which extends far into the gulf, marking the jurisdictional limits of the region's coastal waters.
