About this map

The coastal marshes and prairie of Calhoun County meet the waters of Lavaca Bay in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by a dense network of hydrologic features, including numerous flowing wells and the meandering paths of Aguila Creek and Kentucky Mott Creek. Near the shoreline, Garcitas Cove is flanked by Bennett Point and Keeran Point, marking the transition from the upland cattle and oil country to the productive bay waters.

Settlement patterns in the 1950s are concentrated along transportation corridors, with the Missouri Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads cutting through the inland flats near Kamey. Infrastructure for the era's energy and aviation needs is visible at the Calhoun County Airport and the surrounding Gas Field. Local community life is anchored by landmarks like the Sixmile Sch near the banks of Sixmile Creek, providing a detailed look at this Texas coastal region before significant modern urban expansion.
