1969 Map of Gregory
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Southern Pacific tracks cut a diagonal through this coastal landscape, connecting the industrial hub of Gregory to the growing residential streets of Portland along the northern shores of Nueces Bay. The 1969 field check reveals a region defined by its energy and maritime infrastructure, featuring an extensive Oil Field and a dedicated Refinery near the deep waters of the La Quinta Turning Basin. Between the busy industrial zones, the map documents civic growth with multiple schools like Austin Sch and Gregory-Portland High Sch. This survey also captures local family landmarks and aviation history at Hunt Airport, alongside significant agricultural and drainage projects like the Taft Drainage Ditch. The proximity of Tailings Ponds and a Sand and Claypit underscores the era's heavy industrial footprint on the San Patricio Co coastline.
