1952 Map of West Columbia
USGS Topo · Published 1952About this map
West Columbia sits at the heart of this coastal prairie landscape, its local economy and geography defined by the extensive West Columbia Oil Field. The 1952 environment is heavily marked by industrial infrastructure, featuring a large Tank Farm and numerous Oil Tanks connected by a network of Pipe Lines. This industrial presence contrasts with the winding natural drainage of the San Bernard River and its tributaries, including Mound Creek and Varner Creek. Significant man-made modifications to the terrain are visible through a series of Levees designed to manage the low-lying wetlands. For the genealogist or local historian, the map preserves the location of St Paul Ch and small clusters of dwellings that once served the oil industry and surrounding rural landscape just west of Eagle Nest Lake.
