1960 Map of San Felipe

About this map

The Brazos River creates a winding natural boundary between Austin and Waller counties, anchoring a landscape defined by its historic Texas foundations and mid-century energy production. Much of the western bank is dedicated to the Stephen F. Austin State Park, while the nearby town of San Felipe serves as a focal point for the region's civic life, complete with its townhall and proximity to the San Felipe Siding. To the east, the San Felipe Oil Field and scattered oil wells reflect the industrial character of the 1960s, a sharp contrast to the dense concentration of family-named cemeteries and rural churches.
