1952 Map of St. Charles Bay SE

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Matagorda Island and St Joseph Island are separated by the narrow passage of Cedar Bayou in this mid-century topographic record of the Texas coast. The landscape is defined by dynamic coastal features, including shifting Sand Dunes and extensive Mud Flats that reach into Mesquite Bay. This survey captures the isolation of the barrier islands before significant modern development, showing the transition from the Aransas County and Calhoun County line across the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Scattered Windmills and a lone Oil Well suggest a sparse industrial and agricultural footprint, while the Wynne Ranch stands as a primary landmark in the northern reaches of Matagorda Island. Researchers can trace the natural shoreline of Vinson Slough and the prominent Cedar Point during a period of active aerial and plane-table mapping.
