1953 Map of Otey

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Brazos River meanders in tight, dramatic oxbows through this coastal prairie landscape, defining the boundary between Fort Bend and Brazoria Counties. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the sprawling Ramsey State Prison Farm, which includes Unit No 1 and Unit No 2 situated along the banks of Oyster Creek. This mid-century view captures the transition of the land into industrial use, evidenced by numerous Gas Wells, Oil Wells, and extensive Pipe Line networks flanking the river. Small settlements like Otey and Lochridge appear alongside historical footprints such as the Orozimbo Historical Marker and an Old Railroad Grade. To the south, the massive Harris Reservoir borders the rural landscape, while numerous small water bodies like Tankersley Lake and Barnes Lake dot the alluvial plain.
