2019 Map of South of Palacios Point

About this map

Matagorda Bay and its southern coastal interface dominate this recent topographic study of the Texas shoreline. Located in Matagorda County, the map details the critical maritime artery of the Intracoastal Waterway as it skirts the northern edge of the sheet. The landscape is defined by the meeting of terrestrial marshes and the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico, with Greens Bayou cutting through the low-lying terrain. This document highlights the modern configuration of these coastal landforms, providing a precise look at the shifting boundaries where the bay waters meet the gulf, essential for understanding contemporary coastal erosion and maritime navigation in this section of the Texas coast.
