About this map

The Needville Oil Field and the distinct topographic rise of Damon Mound anchor this mid-century survey of the Texas coastal prairie. This landscape is a patchwork of early industrial extraction and agricultural settlement, characterized by a dense network of windmills and petroleum infrastructure. The community of Guy serves as a local hub, situated where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad intersects the Memorial Highway.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant rural landmarks including New Prospect Ch, Routt Sch, and the Guy Cem. The map captures the transition of the regional economy, showing the Damon Mound Oil Field adjacent to the winding course of Mound Creek and the San Bernard River. The intersection of multiple county lines, including Fort Bend Co Brazoria Co, highlights the importance of this borderland area during the post-war era.
