1951 Map of South of Potrero Lopeno NE

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Padre Island forms a long, slender barrier between the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the shallow expanse of the Laguna Madre. This 1951 survey reveals a landscape almost entirely shaped by wind and tide, dominated by extensive sand flats and numerous shifting sand dunes reaching elevations up to 27 feet. The isolation of this stretch of the Texas coast is evident, with only small markers like Blanco and Boiler providing reference points for navigation or coastal exploration.
