1961 Map of Mont Belvieu

Evidence of the region's mid-century development is visible in the suburban expansion of Baytown to the south and rural pockets like Eldon and Needle Point. Genealogists will find several family-named burial grounds, including the Williams, Fisher, and Lawrence cemeteries. The transition from agricultural land to an energy-sector powerhouse is marked by features like the Jergins Oil Field and numerous sludge pits, contrasted by the recreational spaces at Goose Creek Country Club and the Boy Scout Camp along the bayou.
