1956 Map of Bay City
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The coastal shelf of the Gulf of Mexico meets the Texas shoreline in this 1950s era survey, where the heavy industry of the Sulphur plant and a coastal Refinery stand alongside traditional river crossings like Hinkles Ferry. The landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the Old Brazos River and Caney Creek, which meander toward East Matagorda Bay. Inland, Bay City serves as a regional hub connected by the Missouri Pacific and Santa Fe railroads.
