USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Industrial and agricultural development define this landscape on the border of Liberty, Chambers, and Harris counties in the early 1960s. The Esperson Dome Oil Field and the adjacent Gum Bayou Oil Field dominate the central terrain, characterized by a dense network of pipelines and numerous pumping stations. This extraction activity sits alongside an extensive water management system, including the Dayton Canal and Barbers Hill Canal, designed to move water across the low-lying coastal plains.
