USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Padre Island dominates this coastal survey, revealing a landscape of shifting sand dunes reaching elevations up to 28 feet. The island acts as a massive barrier between the open Gulf of Mexico and the shallow, expansive waters of Laguna Madre. Centrally located within the lagoon, the Intracoastal Waterway is marked with numerous daybeacons and lights, serving as a critical navigation artery.
