Industrial and agricultural development define this landscape along the Fort Bend and Wharton county line. The Boling Oil Field dominates the central terrain, marked by a dense concentration of oil wells, tanks, and pipelines stretching toward Newgulf. This company town was built around the sulfur industry, evidenced by the extensive network of the Sulphur Ditch, Salt Water Canal, and large reservoirs. The Southern Pacific railroad cuts through the settlements of Boling and Iago, facilitating the transport of local resources.
