1959 Map of Manvel
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Manvel Oil Field and the nearby Hastings Oil Field dominate the northern landscape of this Brazoria County coastal plain, reflecting the region's mid-century petroleum development. The intersection of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad with early thoroughfares like Old Manvel Road and Rifle Range Road anchors the small settlement of Manvel, which served as a rural center for surrounding ranches and oil workers. Further southeast, the town of Alvin shows significant expansion through the mid-1970s, with urban revisions highlighting its growth toward South Park and the Alvin Airpark.
