1961 Map of Monroe City

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Anahuac Oil Field dominates this portion of Chambers County, where an extensive network of pipelines and service roads underscores the region's mid-century petroleum industry. Settlement is concentrated around Monroe City and Hankamer, with family history markers like Broussard Cem and Whites Cem providing essential points of interest for genealogists. The landscape is defined by the transition from natural bayous to an engineered water system, including the Lone Star Canal and the Devers Canal, which support local agriculture and a Fish Hatchery. The intricate branching of the Double Bayou East Fork and Double Bayou West Fork meanders through the coastal prairie, alongside landmarks such as Barrow Slough and various pumping stations that reflect the area's dual reliance on ranching and oil production.
