1952 Map of Potrero Lopeno SW

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Laguna Madre dominates this 1952 coastal landscape, revealing the intricate patterns of the Texas shoreline before the full expansion of modern recreational infrastructure. The map highlights the vast Padre Island National Seashore and the slender stretch of Padre Island, defined by shifting sand dunes and mud flats. This survey documents the critical maritime corridor of the Intracoastal Waterway, noting a project depth of 12 feet and a series of Spoil Banks created by maintenance dredging. Inland, the topography shifts to the Rincon De San Jose, where the Verrendos Artesian Well and Mesquite Rincon provide evidence of early water management and land use in this coastal environment. These features illustrate the intersection of natural barrier island migration and the engineered navigational requirements of the mid-20th century.
