About this map

The Colorado River and San Bernard River systems define this 1994 topographic study of the Texas coastal plains. Centered on the industrial and agricultural hub of El Campo, the landscape is a grid of ranch roads, irrigation networks, and extensive energy extraction sites. Numerous production zones like the Sheridan Gas Field and Provident City Gas Field indicate the region's reliance on the petroleum industry during the late 20th century.

Logistics and transport are anchored by the Southern Pacific RR and the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe RR, which connect historic settlements such as Wharton and Hallettsville. The map captures the rural character of smaller communities like Spanish Camp, Glen Flora, and the Danish heritage site of Danevang. Along the riparian corridors, the Mustang Creek Recreation Area provides a contrast to the surrounding agricultural and oil field development.
