Caney Creek and the surrounding coastal prairie of the Wharton and Matagorda county line define this mid-century landscape. The settlement patterns of the era are closely tied to the transport networks of the Southern Pacific and the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroads, which intersect at Newgulf Junction and serve local communities like Pledger and Don-Tol. The presence of a prominent Oil Well near the rail lines reflects the industrial development of the region during the early 1950s.
