2013 Map of South Bird Island
USGS Topo · Published 2013About this map
Laguna Madre dominates this coastal landscape, separating the mainland from the slender barrier of North Padre Island. In this contemporary 2013 survey, the area is defined by a sparse network of ranching and maritime infrastructure. The Dunn Ranch -A1541 Novillo Line Camp and scattered markers like Lobo Windmill and Novilla Windmill speak to the region's enduring cattle-ranching heritage. Along the coast, the Malaquite Beach Development and Malaquite Beach mark the intersection of shoreline recreation and the expansive Gulf of Mexico. Navigation is meticulously charted through a series of offshore markers, including Beacon Number 57 and Beacon Number 83, which guide vessels through the shallow waters and around features like South Bird Island and the sheltered Bird Island Basin.
