1962 Map of Tomball
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The Hufsimth Oil Field and the Southeast Tomball Oil Field define the industrial character of this landscape in the early 1960s, a period when rural Harris County was becoming increasingly crisscrossed by petroleum infrastructure. Petroleum development is seen here in a dense network of pipelines and pumping stations that run alongside established family farms and early German settlements like Klein and Kohrville. The transit of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad through Tomball highlights the area's role as a regional hub for both freight and local commerce.
