About this map

Aransas Pass and Ingleside serve as the primary hubs on this coastal landscape, situated along the interface of Redfish Bay and the interior. The industrial character of the mid-1950s is evident in the extensive Aransas Pass Oil Field and the Tank Farm near the Southern Pacific tracks. Between the settlements, Live Oak Ridge provides a distinct topographic contrast to the low-lying marshes surrounding Mc Campbell Slough and Spears Lake.

Maritime infrastructure is highly developed, featuring the Aransas Pass Turning Basin, Conn Brown Harbor, and the Aransas Pass Channel. Local social history is grounded in landmarks like Kleberg Sch, Prairie View Cem, and the Mexican Human Need Cem, alongside mid-century entertainment venues such as the Tarpon Drive-in Theater. The complex network of an Aqueduct, several pipelines, and a Telephone Line underscores the post-war expansion of utilities and energy transport across the San Patricio and Aransas county lines.
