USGS Topo · Published 1952About this map
Industrial infrastructure and the bend of the San Bernard River define the landscape of Brazoria County in the early 1950s. The town of Sweeny serves as a hub for the region's energy economy, flanked by the massive Old Ocean Field to the west. This area exhibits a dense network of Pipe Lines and a massive Oil Refinery complex at Old Ocean, complete with its own Tank Farm and Spoil Bank along the Salt Water Canal.
