USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The Thompsons Ridge Field oil development dominates the landscape of this 1950s survey, characterized by a dense grid of Oil Wells, Oil Tanks, and the worker settlement at Humble Camp. Positioned along the oxbows of the Brazos River, the area reflects an era when industrial extraction intersected with older agricultural and institutional boundaries. To the south, the sprawling Darrington State Prison Farm occupies a significant portion of the land, bounded by the Missouri Pacific Railroad and the meandering Oyster Creek.
