1953 Map of Glen Flora

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Colorado River meanders sharply through the heart of Wharton County, defining the agricultural and industrial landscape of the early 1950s. The settlement of Glen Flora serves as a primary hub, situated near a complex network of levees and irrigation structures like the Pierce Canal and Pierce Pumping Sta. This era shows a transition in local infrastructure, with the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railroads cutting across the coastal prairie to support the region's shipping needs.
