1952 Map of Egypt

About this map

Egypt sits at the heart of this coastal prairie landscape in the early 1950s, serving as a hub for both the local agricultural and extractive economies. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage ditches and canals that crisscross the land between West Bernard Creek and Peach Creek. This era captures the industrial footprint of the Egypt Oil Field and the Spanish Camp Oil Field, where numerous gas wells and pipe lines are mapped alongside the tracks of the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad. Local community life is anchored by family and congregational sites such as Camp Zion Church and its associated Camp Zion Cemetery, as well as the Jerusalem Church and Old Jerusalem Cemetery further east. The map provides a detailed view of rural Texas life, where small settlements like Spanish Camp and Dorman were situated amidst an evolving landscape of gravel pits, flumes, and windmills.
