2013 Map of Yarborough Pass

About this map

Laguna Madre dominates this coastal landscape, where the shallow hypersaline lagoon meets the expansive mudflats and low-lying brush of Kenedy County. The map details the delicate transition from the mainland to the coastal waters, marked by features such as Rocky Slough and the central sandbars of the Middle Ground. Land use in this corner of South Texas is characterized by large historical landholdings and isolated outposts. Key locations such as the Carnestolendas Ranch and Potrero de los Caballos reflect the enduring ranching tradition of the Wild Horse Desert. At the northern edge, the waters of Baffin Bay enter the frame, while the crossing at Yarborough Pass provides a focal point for the narrow barrier island terrain of Yarborough, highlighting the seasonal and geographic shifts in this tide-influenced environment.
