1952 Map of South of Palacios Point

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Matagorda Peninsula forms a narrow, shifting barrier between the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the protected reaches of Matagorda Bay. This mid-century coastal survey, based on 1952 fieldwork, illustrates a landscape defined by water and maritime transit rather than terrestrial settlement. A solitary Windmill stands as one of the few man-made landmarks on the peninsula, hinting at the cattle grazing or light ranching activity that historically occupied these sandy stretches.
