1957 Map of Port Arthur North

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The industrial corridor of the upper Texas coast is defined here by the massive Refinery operations and Tank Farm complexes that dominate the landscape between Port Neches and Port Arthur. This 1950s era map, with updates showing urban expansion through 1970, captures the rapid growth of communities like Groves, Nederland, and Pear Ridge as they filled the space between the Neches River and the Sabine Lake shoreline. The presence of numerous institutions, including Port Arthur College, St Marys Hospital, and the Port Neches-Groves High Sch, reflects a mature civic infrastructure supporting the booming petrochemical workforce.
