1951 Map of South Bird Island SE

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Padre Island dominates this mid-century topographic survey, showing a landscape defined by shifting sands and the narrow interface between the Laguna Madre and the Gulf of Mexico. The coastal morphology is meticulously documented, with specific dune elevations noted across landmarks like Green Hill, Dagger Hill, and Big Ball Hill. These dunes reach heights up to 37 feet, illustrating the dynamic nature of the Texas barrier island system before significant modern development.
