USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Tres Palacios River winds southward through this coastal prairie landscape, anchoring a network of drainage creeks and agricultural settlements in western Matagorda County. The mid-century economy is clearly defined by the infrastructure of the Oil Field and the heavy presence of two major railroads: the Southern Pacific and the Missouri Pacific. These rail lines supported the growth of local shipping points like Midfield and Elmaton, where small-scale settlement patterns are evident near rural crossroads.
