1954 Map of Skidmore
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The Chase Field Naval Air Station anchors the central landscape of Bee County in the mid-1950s, a period when aviation and agriculture defined the region's character. To the northwest, the Beeville townsite sits at a significant rail junction where the Texas and New Orleans (Southern Pacific) railroad lines diverge. This survey captures a rural Texas economy transitioning from traditional ranching, evidenced by the Heard Ranch, to modern scientific farming at the Texas A & M College Agricultural Experimental Substation No 1.
