1953 Map of Damon

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Damon Mound dominates this coastal prairie landscape, serving as the geologic anchor for a region defined by its mid-century petroleum industry. The 1953 survey captures the area at a high point of resource extraction, with the Damon Mound Oil Field and the Nash Dome Oil Field sprawling across the terrain. Dozens of oil wells, tanks, and a complex network of pipelines illustrate the industrial footprint that reshaped the rural landscape near the Fort Bend and Brazoria county line.
