USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
Industrial sulphur extraction and agricultural settlement define this landscape along the San Bernard River and Caney Creek. The extensive operations at Newgulf are prominently displayed, featuring a large Reservoir, a Sulphur Salt Water Canal, and a Sulphur Stock Pile, indicating the region's importance to the Texas mineral economy in the mid-1950s. The Southern Pacific railroad links these production centers to the communities of Boling and Iago, cutting a straight path through the surrounding fields.
