1952 Map of Placedo

About this map

Placedo sits at the nexus of South Texas petroleum production and rail transit in this mid-century survey. The landscape is heavily influenced by the Placedo Field and Oil Field, where networks of access roads and infrastructure like Oil Tanks and a Sludge Pit dot the coastal plain. The Missouri Pacific Southern railroad provides the primary industrial spine, cutting diagonally through the map and connecting the small settlements of Dacosta and Carr.
