About this map

Industrial expansion in the South Texas brush country is evident in this early 1960s study of Alice. The city’s northern growth is anchored by a dense network of energy infrastructure, including the Alice North Oil Field, Embleton Oil Field, and Bentonville Oil Field. The landscape is carved by a series of creeks, most notably Chiltipin Creek and Resaca de Enmedio Creek, which flow toward the municipal center.

Social and civic life is captured through the detailed plotting of local institutions such as Immanuel Ch, St Elizabeth Sch, and William Adams High Sch. The intersection of the Southern Pacific and Texas Mexican rail lines highlights the area's role as a regional transportation hub. On the outskirts, cultural landmarks like the Alice Country Club and the Drive-in Theater reflect the mid-century suburban character of Jim Wells County.
