2022 Map of Potrero Lopeno SE

About this map

Padre Island dominates the western edge of this coastal survey, where the protected dunes and sands of the Padre Island National Seashore meet the surf. The landscape is defined by the thin barrier between the lagoon environments to the west and the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico to the east. This specific 2022 dataset captures the shifting geomorphology of the Texas coast in Kenedy County, illustrating the intricate patterns of shoreline wetlands and the bathymetry of the nearshore waters. The map is primarily an aquatic and coastal study, documenting the undeveloped reach of one of the longest barrier islands in the world, preserved as part of the national park system.
