1926 Map of Terry

About this map

Industrial infrastructure and coastal marshland converge along the Neches River in this 1926 survey, documenting the early oil and transportation network of southeast Texas. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of the Texas Pipe Line, Sun Pipe Line, and Gulf Pipe Line, which traverse the low-lying terrain near the Orange Co Jefferson Co boundary. The small settlement of Terry and the nearby Chase Camp sit along the Southern Pacific railroad, illustrating the vital rail-and-resource economy of the era.
