NASA Red Number S-66-45764 Kodak photo 8" x 10". Photograph of Texas-Mexico (Tamaulipas): Gulf Coast from Corpus Christi Bay south to Laguna Madre; taken by Michael Collins during the Gemini X mission during orbit no. 28 on July 20,1966. Corpus Christi Bay is at the top and Mexico's Laguna Madre at the bottom of this nearly vertical view of the Rio Grande's deltaic plain. The international boundary is in the lower half of the photo. The long curving beach is Padre Island. It is typical of barriers that rim the Gulf of Mexico on the west, and has been studied as a possible clue to the formation of oil traps. The Intracoastal Waterway can be seen in the shallow Laguna Madre and a belt of grassland begins inland from the sand bars. Cumuli had formed inland while a cool sea breeze restricted cloud development along the coast.
