1950 Map of Cedar Bend

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Colorado River carves a winding path through this West Texas landscape, defined by dramatic topography like North Fork Canyon and Dawson Canyon. In the mid-twentieth century, the area around Colorado City was a hub of industrial activity, evidenced by the Col-Tex Refinery, a massive Tank Farm, and the busy Texas and Pacific railroad corridor. While the river remains the dominant natural feature, human engineering has reshaped the drainage with projects like Barber Reservoir and several spillways.
