1952 Map of West Columbia

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Industrial energy and coastal prairie drainage define this mid-century survey of Brazoria County. The town of West Columbia serves as a central hub, flanked by the sprawling West Columbia Oil Field. The landscape is a network of production and transport, marked by a massive Tank Farm, numerous Oil Tanks, and a web of Pipe Line corridors that crisscross the low-lying terrain. These man-made features contrast with the natural winding course of the San Bernard River and its tributaries.
