About this map

The legacy of the Texas oil boom is etched into this 2010 landscape of Beaumont and its eastern industrial corridors. The historic Lucas Gusher Spindletop Oil Field and Spindletop Hill anchor the southern portion of the map, illustrating the continued significance of the petroleum industry near Guffey and McFadden. To the north, the winding Neches River divides the urban center from several large islands, including Smith Island and Clark Island, while the Port Arthur Canal and Union Canal highlight the region's complex water-management and shipping infrastructure.

Residential and civic growth is visible in neighborhoods like West Oakland and Pine Crest, while several significant burial grounds, such as Magnolia Cemetery and Mansfield Cemetery, provide clear data points for genealogists. The grid of the Beaumont Commercial District contrasts with the surrounding wetlands and bayous, such as Brakes Bayou and Star Bayou, showing how the modern city integrates with the coastal river systems of Jefferson County.
