1952 Map of Lolita
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The confluence of the Lavaca River and Navidad River dominates this coastal Texas landscape in the early 1950s. The region is characterized by a mix of agricultural flats and industrial activity, anchored by the settlements of Vanderbilt and Lolita. A significant Oil Field with numerous private roads and wells spreads east of Lolita, supported by an Oil Refinery located near the riverbanks. The transportation network is anchored by the Missouri Pacific railroad running east-west and the Point Comfort and Northern line striking south. Extensive hydraulic features including Redfish Lake, the Menefee Lake No 1, and numerous levee systems reflect a landscape managed for both drainage and industrial utility. Local history is preserved at the Lolita Cem and through distinctive topographic markers like Old Red Bluff and Buzzard Roost Bend.
