1956 Map of Algoa

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The growing town of Alvin anchors this mid-century landscape where agricultural drainage systems meet the expanding Texas petroleum industry. The coastal prairie is defined by the American Canal and an intricate network of ditches feeding into Mustang Bayou and Dickinson Bayou. While the purple revisions from 1969 show suburban expansion, the original 1956 survey captures the established footprint of the Hastings Oil Field and the Algoa Oil Field, complete with numerous tanks and pipeline routes.
