2010 Map of West Columbia

About this map

The West Columbia Oil Field serves as a prominent industrial landmark in this Brazoria County landscape, reflecting the region's enduring relationship with energy production. The city of West Columbia occupies the southeastern quadrant, where a dense network of local streets including S 14th St and Ellis Ln meet. The terrain is defined by a complex hydraulic system, with the San Bernard River and Bell Creek winding through the coastal prairie. Significant water management features are visible, such as the Blackwell Reservoir Levee and the twin embankments of Williams Lake Number 1 Levee and Williams Lake Number 2 Levee. These structures, alongside Eagle Nest Lake and Beal Reservoir, illustrate the extensive engineering required to manage the flat, creek-laced territory of the Texas Gulf Coast.
