2022 Map of Turtle Bay

USGS Topo · Published 2022

About this map

Turtle Bay and the surrounding coastal wetlands of the Texas Gulf Coast are defined by a complex network of bays and secondary inlets. The landscape is characterized by its tidal hydrology, where Buttermilk Slough drains into the bay system and Turtle Creek winds through the coastal prairie. Human settlement is concentrated along the shorelines and higher ground, notably in the town of Palacios near the Palacios Municipal Airport. Smaller residential enclaves like the El Campo Club Community and Schicke Point Community are positioned at the water's edge, highlighting the area's recreational and maritime orientation. The map also delineates the meeting of three counties—Jackson, Matagorda, and Calhoun—across open water and low-lying landforms such as Lund Motte and Shell Beach, providing a clear record of administrative boundaries and coastal geography in the early twenty-first century.
