2016 Map of Yarborough Pass OE E

About this map

Padre Island dominates this coastal survey, where the vast sands of the barrier island meet the Gulf waters along the South Texas coast. The map focuses on the protected environment of the Padre Island National Seashore, a stretch of land defined by shifting shorelines and maritime wilderness. A primary hydrological feature is Yarborough Pass, a narrow cut that has historically influenced the water exchange between the Laguna Madre and the open sea. This 2016 edition provides a digital-era look at the boundary of Kenedy County, capturing the topographic isolation and natural state of the seashore before any significant modern alterations to this fragile coastal ecosystem.
