USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Manvel and Alvin anchor this mid-century look at the coastal prairie of Brazoria County, where the landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Texas oil industry and agricultural water management. The Manvel Oil Field and Hastings Oil Field dominate the northern terrain with tank batteries and access roads, while the American Canal and Briscoe Canal cut across the flats to support local rice farming.
