1952 Map of Kamey

About this map

The coastal plains of the Texas Gulf Coast are defined here by a network of bayous and drainage systems that feed into Lavaca Bay and Garcitas Cove. During the early 1950s, this landscape was characterized by a heavy reliance on hydraulic infrastructure, with numerous Levee systems and an abundance of Flowing Wells dotting the terrain near Placedo Creek and Aguila Creek. The small community of Kamey sits at a rail junction where the Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific lines converge, serving as a transit point for the region's emerging energy and agricultural sectors. Further east, local life centered around the Sixmile Sch and Sixmile Ch, while the southern expanse of the quadrangle shows the early development of a significant Gas Field. This survey captures the transition from traditional ranching and farming to an industrializing coast, marked by extensive gas wells and strategic shoreline points like Keeran Point.
