2013 Map of Taft

About this map

Taft serves as the primary urban center for this coastal Texas landscape, showcasing a grid of streets named for local significance and industrial utility. Roads such as Packinghouse Rd and Compress Rd point to the area's agricultural processing history, while the proximity to Bellevue Cem offers a point of interest for genealogical research. The surrounding terrain is largely defined by the energy sector and coastal geography. Large-scale extraction is evident across the coastal plain through the White Point Oil Field, East White Point Oil Field, and Midway Oil Field. These fields transition into the marshes and waters of Nueces Bay at the southwestern edge of the map, illustrating the intersection of industrial development and the Gulf Coast environment during the early 21st century.
