1956 Map of Willamar

About this map

Willamar Oil Field dominates this South Texas landscape, defined by a dense grid of production infrastructure including a Pumping Sta and a complex network of pipelines. The region’s ranching roots remain visible through established family-named holdings like El Sauz Ranch and La Jarita Ranch, which sit alongside the industrial expansion of the mid-20th century. Water management is a primary feature of the terrain, with the East Main Drain and the North Floodway cutting through the brush country to control the coastal plains. Small settlements and industrial outposts such as Willamar and Willamar Camp serve as the focal points for local history researchers and genealogists, who may also find interest in the El Toro Cem and La Jarita Cem located near the ranches.
