1982 Map of Alief

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Brays Bayou and Keegans Bayou wind through this early 1980s landscape, illustrating the rapid suburbanization extending west from Houston. The map reveals a dense network of educational and religious institutions supporting these emerging communities, including St Agnes Academy, St Francis de Sales Sch, and Alief Brethren Ch. Significant land use is dedicated to sprawling facilities like the Forest Park-Westheimer Cemetery and the Andrau Airpark, a prominent local aviation hub of the era. The industrial and transit pulse of the region is defined by the Southern Pacific railroad corridor, which serves the established hubs of Alief, Stafford, and Sugar Land. While residential tracts expand, large recreational and medical spaces like the Sharpstown Country Club and Houston Baptist University anchor the urban transition.
