1963 Map of Juliff

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Oyster Creek meanders along the western edge of this coastal prairie landscape, its course flanked by a dense concentration of oxbow lakes including Sugarhouse Lake, Lake Sienna, and Thompson Lake. The area reflects a transition from early agricultural foundations to industrial development, notably marked by the Arcola Oil Field and the sprawling Texas Department of Correction (Darrington Unit) near Sandy Point. The settlement pattern is defined by the intersection of the Missouri Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads, which facilitated the growth of small railroad communities like Arcola and Juliff. A complex network of irrigation canals, such as the Briscoe Canal and the South Texas Water Company Road, underscores the region's historical reliance on managed water for rice farming and other local industry during the mid-20th century.
