1955 Map of Friendswood
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Industrial and aviation development dominates the mid-century landscape of this Texas coastal plain, where the Friendswood Oil Field and Hastings Field define the local economy through a network of pipelines and salt water disposal wells. Ellington Air Force Base occupies a significant portion of the northeastern territory, featuring an extensive runway system and supporting facilities like the Airway Beacon. The settlement of Friendswood is shown as a small, developing hub along the banks of Clear Creek, which serves as a natural boundary between Harris, Brazoria, and Galveston counties.
