1970 Map of Alief

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The southwest expansion of Houston into the ranch lands and rice fields of the coastal prairie is clearly visible in this 1970 snapshot. Modern suburban developments like Bellaire West and Sharpstown are rapidly filling the space between the historic community of Alief and the industrial corridors of Sugar Land and Stafford. The landscape is transitioning from open drainage systems like Keegans Bayou and Brays Bayou to a structured grid of residential streets and essential community institutions.
