1957 Map of Port Arthur North

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Refinery and tank farm operations dominate this mid-century industrial landscape along the Neches-River, capturing the intense mid-century development of the Golden Triangle. The map details the dense residential growth of Groves, Port Arthur, and Nederland, showing how these communities expanded toward the massive petroleum infrastructure that defined the local economy. Significant transit corridors like the Kansas City Southern railroad and the Sabine-Neches Waterway highlight the region's role as a global shipping hub. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is exceptionally detailed in its labeling of civic life, noting numerous neighborhood institutions including Port Neches-Groves High Sch, St Marys Hospital, and Oak Bluff Memorial Park. The inclusion of smaller enclaves like Pear Ridge and Griffing Park provides a clear view of suburban organization before later annexations.
