1952 Map of Seadrift NE

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Powderhorn Lake Oil Field dominates the northeastern landscape of this coastal Texas region, where the intersection of petroleum industry and maritime geography is clearly defined. The terrain is characterized by extensive wetlands and low-lying coastal features, including the protected waters of Powderhorn Lake and the meandering path of Coloma Creek. A prominent Pipe Line and numerous Oil Wells illustrate the mid-century industrial footprint on the environment, while a Levee and various windmills suggest the ongoing efforts to manage water and livestock in this tidal zone. To the south, the Intracoastal Waterway cuts a straight path between the mainland and Dewberry Island, separating the inner marshes from the broader reaches of Shoalwater Bay and Espiritu Santo Bay. The 1973 revisions, marked in purple, record subtle changes in the shoreline and man-made structures over two decades.
