About this map

The salt dome of High Island rises prominently above the surrounding Texas coastal wetlands, serving as a hub for petroleum extraction and transit during the mid-twentieth century. This survey details a landscape where industry and geography are inseparable, featuring a dense Oil Field dotted with numerous Oil Wells and sludge pits on the elevated terrain. To the south, the community of Gilchrist sits along the Gulf shoreline, positioned at the edge of Rollover Bay.
