1962 Map of Stowell

About this map

Sea Breeze Oil Field dominates the southern landscape of this coastal Texas region, where a dense network of pipelines and disposal wells reveals the intensity of mid-century petroleum extraction. The adjacent communities of Winnie and Stowell serve as the primary residential and commercial hubs, situated at a critical crossroads of heavy-duty transport. The presence of Grain Elevators along the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad line highlights the dual importance of oil and agriculture to the local economy.
