1953 Map of Guy

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Damon Mound Oil Field and the Needville Field define the economic character of this landscape at the intersection of Fort Bend, Brazoria, and Wharton counties. These petroleum operations are concentrated around the prominent geological feature Damon Mound, where dozens of oil wells and tanks suggest an era of intensive local production. The small settlement of Guy serves as a hub, complete with a Guy (Siding) along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which parallels the Memorial Highway. In the agricultural reaches to the west, rural life is anchored by landmarks like New Prospect Ch, Routt Sch, and the Guy Cem. This 1953 survey, updated with later aerial data, captures the complex overlay of oil infrastructure atop a network of creeks like Buffalo Creek and Mound Creek that drain toward the San Bernard River.
