About this map

Danevang serves as the central hub of this agricultural and industrial landscape along the Wharton Co Matagorda Co line in the early 1950s. The region is defined by its water management and resource extraction, featuring extensive engineering works like the Spoil Bank and Levee systems that flank the Tres Palacios River. Community life is anchored by several rural institutions, including Liberty Sch, Danevang Sch, and churches like New Bether Ch and Danevang Ch.

Evidence of the mid-century energy economy is prominent throughout the northern portion of the map, where an active Oil Field and multiple Oil Wells appear amidst the drainage basins of Willow Creek and Juanita Creek. This survey offers a precise record of the transition between the settlement at Clemville and the surrounding coastal prairie before further modern development altered the drainage patterns.
