1963 Map of Angleton

About this map

The Brazoria County seat of Angleton underwent significant expansion in the mid-1970s, as evidenced by the purple-tinted urban extensions reaching beyond the city's original 1963 footprint. This coastal prairie landscape is defined by a dense network of petroleum production and water management, with the Chenango Oil Field and Angleton Oil Field dominating the northern and central sections. The Missouri Pacific railroad serves as a primary transit corridor, cutting diagonally through the landscape toward the coast.
