The industrial and coastal landscape of the Texas Gulf Coast is frozen in time in this 1969 survey, where the Southern Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal line through a region defined by energy and logistics. Near the intersection of the San Patricio and Nueces county lines, the growing community of Portland and the hub of Gregory are documented just as urban expansion was being tracked via aerial photography. The map highlights the intensive industrial footprint of the era, from the sprawling Oil Field and numerous Oil Wells to the massive Tailings Ponds and the Refinery near the northeastern edge.
