1963 Map of Mustang Bayou

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Mustang Bayou and Halls Bayou wind through this coastal Texas landscape, defining a region where agricultural drainage canals meet the heavy infrastructure of the mid-century energy industry. The map illustrates the convergence of water and commerce, with the Missouri Pacific railroad cutting diagonally across the terrain, parallel to the Chocolate Bayou Oil Field and the Alta Loma Oil Field. While much of the land is crisscrossed by pipelines and canals like the Rice Road and Briscoe Road, small markers of local history remain, such as the German Cem and the small cluster at Halls Bayou Camp. Large-scale industrial footprints are visible at the Refinery and Chemical Plant, highlighting the intensive resource extraction that shaped Brazoria and Galveston counties during the 1960s.
