USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The Orchard Dome Oil and Gas Field dominates this section of Fort Bend County, where petroleum extraction and agricultural infrastructure coexist along the western banks of the Brazos River. The settlement of Orchard serves as a local hub, featuring Artesian Park and the Orchard Community Bldg near the junction of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and an Old Railroad Grade. This 1970s landscape is defined by its industrial activity, with dozens of Gas Wells, Oil Wells, and Gravel Pits peppered throughout the coastal prairie.
