2025 Map of Yarborough Pass OE E

About this map

Padre Island National Seashore dominates this coastal landscape on the edge of the Gulf of America. The map documents a narrow section of the barrier island, where the shifting sands of Padre Island meet the tide. A primary point of interest is Yarborough Pass, a cut through the dunes that provides a rare transition point between the gulf and the inland lagoon systems. This 2025 survey serves as a modern record of this dynamic environment, where the absence of permanent human settlements or structures highlights the protected status of the seashore. The minimal infrastructure shown emphasizes the preservation of the maritime wilderness in Kenedy County.
