2022 Map of South of Palacios Point

About this map

Matagorda Bay and the surrounding coastal waters of the Texas shoreline define this maritime quadrangle. The map focuses heavily on the aquatic geography where the mainland meets the Gulf of Mexico, providing a modern record of the shifting coastal interface in this part of Matagorda County. The Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the upper corner of the sheet, representing a critical artery for coastal shipping and transit. Nearby, Greens Bayou feeds into the bay, illustrating the complex network of inlets and tidal passages that characterize this low-lying environment. As a 2022 edition, the map reflects the current state of these navigable waters and natural boundaries, offering a precise view of the coastal topography as it exists in the early twenty-first century.
