1961 Map of Oyster Bayou

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Oyster Bayou and its winding tributaries dominate this coastal Texas landscape, where the petroleum industry and ranching geography converge. The Oyster Bayou Oil Field is a central industrial feature, marked by numerous Oil Wells, disposal sites, and Pumping Stations that define the local economy during the mid-20th century. Transportation across these wetlands relies on established routes such as Whites Ranch Road and Smith Point Road, which intersect near the historic Jackson Cem. Settlement is sparse, with the small community of Pine Island located along the western edge of the quadrangle. The map reveals a complex network of waterways, including Double Bayou, Bad East Gully, and Chimney Bayou, reflecting the intricate drainage patterns of the low-lying Chambers County terrain.
