USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
Markham sits at the junction of rail and road, serving as a hub for the surrounding Matagorda County coastal plains. The Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific lines dominate the transport corridors, reflecting the area's mid-century reliance on heavy rail for moving oil and agricultural goods. To the north, the North Markham Oil Field and scattered oil wells across the landscape indicate the region's productive petroleum industry during the early 1950s.
