1968 Map of Port Ingleside

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Ingleside and its coastal neighbors define the interface between industrial development and the barrier island ecology of the Texas Gulf Coast in the late 1960s. The landscape is heavily marked by the energy sector, featuring a large Refinery and Tank Farm connected by pipelines, alongside the Dagger Island Oil Field where offshore wells dot the shallow waters. Navigation and commerce are central to this area, shown through the engineered precision of the Intracoastal Waterway, La Quinta Channel, and the Corpus Christi Channel. The Southern Pacific railroad serves the mainland, while residential growth is concentrated at Ingleside-On-the-Bay. In contrast to the industrial zones, the map preserves the natural contours of the archipelago, including Mustang Island and Shamrock Island, which buffer the mainland from the open gulf.
