2016 Map of South Bird Island NW

About this map

Alazan Mott and the surrounding coastal wetlands of Kleberg County characterize this low-lying landscape along the Texas shoreline. This 2016 survey highlights a complex network of marshes and intermittent water bodies, such as Parra Lake, which define the region's geography. The presence of Ojo de Agua Spring provides a distinct freshwater point within the otherwise brackish environment. Along the eastern edge, the Intracoastal Waterway serves as a critical maritime corridor, cutting through the lagoons and salt flats that separate the mainland from the barrier islands. The terrain's sparse settlement and focus on water features reflect the area's ongoing role as a habitat for coastal wildlife and a waypoint for nautical transit.
