USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
The West Columbia Oil Field dominates the landscape of this Brazoria County region, where the industrial infrastructure of energy production meets the bottomlands of the San Bernard River. Developed atop a massive salt dome, the field is marked by an extensive network of Oil Tanks and a significant Tank Farm just north of the town center. The settlement of West Columbia sits at a historic crossroads, serving as a hub for the local oil economy and providing access to the preserved grounds of Varner Hogg State Park along the banks of Varner Creek.
