1961 Map of Oyster Bayou

About this map

Whites Ranch serves as a central landmark in this coastal prairie landscape of Chambers County during the early 1960s. The map illustrates a transitional economy where traditional ranching meets the growing petroleum industry, evidenced by the extensive Oyster Bayou Oil Field and numerous Oil Wells and pipelines crossing the terrain. The hydrological network is well-defined by the winding courses of Oyster Bayou and Double Bayou, which dominate the low-lying topography.
