2022 Map of Yarborough Pass OE E

About this map

Padre Island National Seashore dominates this coastal landscape on the barrier islands of Kenedy County. The map provides a high-resolution look at the narrow strip of land where Padre Island meets the expanse of the Gulf of Mexico. A central feature of the terrain is Yarborough Pass, a break in the dunes that serves as a landmark for navigation and coastal access. The eastern portion of the sheet is almost entirely maritime, documenting the bathymetry and shoreline configuration as it existed in the early 2020s. This survey focuses on a largely undeveloped stretch of the Texas coast, where the dynamic relationship between shifting sands and sea levels is the primary geographic driver.
