1952 Map of South of Potrero Lopeno SE

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Padre Island stretches across this coastal survey, defined by an ever-changing landscape of shifting sand dunes and expansive sand and mud flats. Situated along the boundary between Kenedy County and Willacy County, the area is dominated by the tidal waters of the Laguna Madre to the west and the open Gulf of Mexico to the east. The map records specific elevation data for the dunes, ranging from modest rises to peaks such as Shifting Sand Dunes reaching 35 feet. A solitary landmark, Harena, is noted on the southern portion of the island. This 1952 field check captures the primitive, undeveloped state of the Texas coastline before modern infrastructure, where desert conditions and meteorological shifts dictated the moving shoreline.
