1965 Map of Sheridan SE

About this map

Sandy Creek meanders through this landscape, marking a wooded corridor where the boundaries of Colorado, Lavaca, and Wharton Counties meet. The mid-1960s terrain is defined by a sparse but active industrial footprint, with numerous Oil Wells and a Gas Well scattered across the coastal plains. This era shows the transition of rural Texas ranch land into a managed energy and aviation landscape, evidenced by small private aviation facilities like Whitegate Landing Strip and another unnamed Landing Strip further north.
