1967 Map of Aldine

About this map

Greens Bayou and Halls Bayou wind through this northern Harris County landscape, which in the late 1960s was transitioning from rural petroleum fields into a developing residential and institutional hub. The map highlights significant civic and military infrastructure, most notably the expansive Veterans Administration Cemetery. Educational centers like Aldine High Sch and Stovall Jr High Sch serve the growing communities of Aldine and Highland Heights. Transportation and communication define the area's layout, with Missouri Pacific rail lines and numerous pipelines crossing the territory. The presence of Collier Airport, Airman Field, and several radio towers, including those for Kenr and Kilt, reflects the mid-century aerospace and broadcast growth of the greater Houston region. Local history is further preserved through numerous family and community sites such as Rest Haven Cemetery and Prairie Garden Ch.
