1952 Map of Potrero Lopeno SE

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Padre Island National Seashore dominates this narrow coastal strip, positioned between the expansive Gulf of Mexico and the shallow waters of Laguna Madre. The land is characterized by dynamic natural forces, marked by extensive shifting sand dunes and coastal flats of sand and mud. A notable human element on this otherwise sparsely inhabited coast includes ruins found north of a landmark labeled Meteor, suggesting past structures that have weathered the gulf conditions. This 1950s era survey, with revisions from 1975, tracks the shoreline before significant modern development, showing the barrier island's primitive state when navigation was guided by simple coastal landmarks and the natural topography of the Texas coast in Kenedy County.
