1952 Map of Bloomington SW

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Guadalupe River and San Antonio River converge in this mid-century landscape of South Texas, defining a complex network of waterways protected by an extensive system of Levee structures. The era is marked by significant energy production, visible through the sprawling Heyser Oil Field and various other designated oil and gas fields that dominate the northern and central terrain. This industrial presence is contrasted by quiet markers of early settlement, such as Rudolph Cem and Stuger Cem, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists. The Missouri Pacific railroad traverses the coastal prairie, cutting through a geography of bayous and lakes including Linn Lake and Alligator Lake. The map reveals a highly engineered riparian environment where traditional ranching and farming likely met the rising demands of the petroleum industry.
