1956 Map of Algoa

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The town of Alvin serves as the primary hub on this coastal Texas survey, situated at the junction of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific railroads. The landscape is a complex network of natural drainage and human engineering, where Mustang Bayou and Dickinson Bayou wind between extensive irrigation works like the American Canal. Petroleum extraction is a dominant industrial feature, with the Hastings Oil Field and Algoa Oil Field marked by numerous oil tanks and derrick sites. Cultural landmarks include the Confederate Cemetery and the presence of the Racetrack and Golf Course, reflecting the recreational and historical layers of the community during the mid-20th century. Purple revisions highlight the physical expansion of Alvin and the growth of infrastructure such as the Telephone Relay Tower and TV Tower (KGUL).
