USGS Topo · Published 1991About this map
The San Bernard River winds through the coastal lowlands of Brazoria County, defining a landscape shaped by mid-century industrial development. During the early 1950s, the region around Sweeny emerged as a significant energy hub, centered on the Old Ocean Field. This survey captures the extensive network of infrastructure supporting this growth, including a sprawling Oil Refinery, an adjacent Tank Farm, and multiple Pipeline corridors that crisscross the terrain.
