1952 Map of Pledger

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The winding course of Caney Creek and its many oxbows dominate this mid-century look at the coastal prairie, where agricultural drainage and rail infrastructure define the landscape. Along the Wharton and Matagorda County line, small communities like Pledger and Magnet serve as focal points for the region's transport and industrial activity. Evidence of the local economy is clear through the presence of an Oil Well and the extensive network of the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railroads. The area's social history is anchored by sites like Bethlehem Ch and Union Cem. Large-scale landscape modifications are also visible, including several segments of Levee and Spoil Bank alongside Water Hole Creek, illustrating the efforts to manage water across the flat terrain.
