2019 Map of South of Potrero Lopeno NW

About this map

Padre Island National Seashore dominates the eastern reaches of this coastal survey, where the barrier island meets the open waters of the Gulf. The interior of the quadrangle is largely defined by the expansive Red Fish Bay, a shallow lagoon environment that separates the mainland from the protective barrier of Padre Island. Running north to south through these waters, the Intracoastal Waterway serves as the primary maritime artery for this stretch of the Texas coast. The map illustrates a landscape of subtle elevations and wetlands, typical of the Kenedy County shoreline, providing a clear record of the coastal geography and navigational routes as they existed in the late twenty-teens.
