2012 Map of South of Potrero Lopeno SE

About this map

Port Mansfield Channel serves as the primary focal point of this coastal survey, cutting a straight course through the barrier island geography of Willacy County. The map provides a detailed look at the aquatic landscape where the Laguna Madre meets the Gulf of Mexico, illustrating the intricate shoreline and sand flats that characterize this section of the Texas coast. Unlike more developed coastal areas, this region is defined by its maritime infrastructure and the natural movement of the tide across the barrier bars. The presence of the channel highlights the mid-20th-century efforts to provide deep-water access for the local fishing and shipping industries, a development that fundamentally altered the local hydrology and navigation patterns.
