1951 Map of South Bird Island SE

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Padre Island National Seashore dominates this coastal survey, revealing a dynamic landscape of shifting sand dunes and mudflats between the Gulf of Mexico and Laguna Madre. The map details a transition point on the barrier island, where the Kleberg Co and Kenedy Co boundary line crosses the shoreline near Boggy Slough. Geographically distinct landmarks like Green Hill, Dagger Hill, and Big Ball Hill provide fixed points among the ever-changing sands. The small settlement of Union is noted on the bay side, offering a rare point of human habitation in this maritime environment. This edition includes 1975 photorevisions, highlighting changes in the Shifting Sand Dunes and the shoreline of Little Shell, essential for understanding the natural evolution of the Texas coast during the mid-20th century.
