1952 Map of Midfield

About this map

Midfield sits at the intersection of the Southern Pacific railroad and State Route 71, serving as a central point in this mid-century agricultural and industrial landscape. The terrain is defined by a sophisticated network of water management features, including extensive levee systems and a spoil bank flanking Palacios Creek. These structures suggest a concerted effort to control the coastal plains drainage for both farming and the active Oil Field operations located near the Missouri Pacific line.
