1951 Map of Bloomington

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Guadalupe River meanders through a landscape of heavy industry and agricultural production in the early 1950s. Near the settlement of Bloomington, an extensive oil field with a complex network of pipelines and spoil banks reveals the mid-century petroleum boom that shaped Victoria County. The town site itself is a structured grid adjacent to the Missouri Pacific railroad, which served as the primary transport artery through Dernal and Dacosta.
