1954 Map of Three Islands

About this map

Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge dominates the western shoreline of the Laguna Madre in this mid-century survey of the South Texas coast. The landscape is defined by the shifting interface of water and land, characterized by vast stretches of Sand and Mud and the intricate channels of the Intracoastal Waterway. Notable landmarks along the refuge boundary include Red Head Bluff and the winding Resaca de los Cuates, a former river channel that speaks to the region's complex hydrological history.
