About this map

Industrial growth and coastal expansion dominate the landscape of Texas City and La Marque during the mid-20th century. The map reveals a complex infrastructure of oil tanks, pipelines, and the Galveston County Industrial Water Reservoir serving the booming petrochemical sector. Along the waterfront, the massive Texas City Dike extends into the bay, protecting the Texas City Ship Channel and the busy turning basin. Residential growth is reflected in the numerous educational and religious sites, such as the Franklin Roosevelt Sch and St Marys Ch, centered around City Hall.
