2019 Map of South Bird Island NW

About this map

Ojo de Agua Spring and the surrounding wetlands characterize this coastal Texas landscape, where the hydrology of Kleberg County meets the Gulf's influence. The terrain is marked by distinct seasonal water bodies and isolated groves like Alazan Mott, which provide unique landmarks in an area dominated by transitional marsh and tidal flats. Central to the local topography is Parra Lake, a water feature that highlights the delicate balance between freshwater sources and the nearby saline environment. Along the eastern edge, the Intracoastal Waterway serves as a critical artery for maritime navigation, cutting a straight line through the natural indentations of the coastline. This 2019 survey documents the intricate network of wetlands and small springs that define the region's environmental character just inland from the barrier islands.
