1954 Map of Millux

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Buena Vista Lake dominates the western edge of this landscape, its fluctuating reach evidenced by the Approximate Old Shoreline and a specialized drainage network. In this mid-century period, the terrain reflects an industrial focus on petroleum and water management, centered around the Paloma Oil Refinery and the small settlement of Millux. A complex system of infrastructure supports this extraction economy, with numerous Oil Sumps, Pipe Lines, and Oil Tanks dotting the valley floor. To the south, the Connecting Slough and Old Rim Ditch trace the hydrological movement through the basin. The road system, including South Coles Levee Road and Sunset Road, follows the geometric alignment of the section lines and levee banks, marking the intersection of the natural basin and human engineering.
