The boundary between Fort Bend Co and Brazoria Co cuts across this coastal prairie landscape, where the local economy is defined by petroleum extraction and heavy-duty water infrastructure. The Arcola Oil Field and Sandy Point Oil Field mark the surface with numerous wells and a dense network of pipelines, reflecting the industrial character of the region in the early 1960s. Transport is anchored by the Missouri Pacific Railroad and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, which link settlements like Arcola, Juliff, and Sandy Point.
