1962 Map of Winnie NW

About this map

Agricultural irrigation and energy extraction define the landscape of this coastal Texas region where Liberty, Jefferson, and Chambers counties meet. The massive water engineering projects of the Lower Neches Valley Authority Canal, the Nolte Canal, and the East Branch Devers Canal dominate the terrain, facilitating the movement of water across flat coastal plains. These man-made channels intersect natural drainage systems like Cottonwood Bayou and Whites Bayou, while distinct terrain elevations appear as "islands" such as Turkey Island, Double Gum Island, and Oak Island. Petroleum development is evident throughout the area, notably within the Stowell Oil Field and numerous scattered Oil Wells. The infrastructure of the early 1960s is further detailed by rural transport links like Nolte Road and private aviation facilities including the Vogel Landing Strip.
