1952 Map of Lane City

About this map

The Colorado River meanders through this portion of Wharton County, defining a landscape of riparian corridors and active petroleum extraction. Near Lane City, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line runs parallel to the highway, serving as a vital transport link for the region's agricultural and industrial output. The map reveals an extensive network of Oil Wells and infrastructure across the Old Field, illustrating the post-war energy boom that shaped local economies in the early 1950s. Smaller waterways like Jarvis Creek and Jones Creek feed into the main river channel, while man-made features such as the Spoil Bank and numerous levees indicate significant land management and reclamation efforts by the Texas Reclamation Department to control the river's floodplain.
