2022 Map of South of Potrero Lopeno SE

About this map

Padre Island dominates this coastal survey, where the barrier island serves as a critical buffer between the Gulf of Mexico and the mainland. The landscape is defined by extensive protected areas, primarily the Padre Island National Seashore and large portions of the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge. The Port Mansfield Channel cuts through the island, providing an essential maritime passage that shapes the local hydrology and access to the interior laguna. This area represents a massive conservation footprint, further reinforced by the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge. The map captures the intersection of Kenedy and Willacy Counties, marking a point where the coastline remains largely undeveloped and dedicated to wildlife preservation and natural coastal processes.
