1983 Map of Anahuac

About this map

The industrial and coastal landscapes of the Upper Texas Coast are captured here during the early 1980s, centered on the settlement of Anahuac and the expansive waters of Trinity Bay. This era of the Gulf Coast economy is evidenced by the density of energy infrastructure, including the famous Spindletop Oil Field, Anahuac Oil Field, and Oyster Bayou Oil Field. These sites are linked by a complex network of roads like Texas 124 and the tracks of the Missouri Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads.
