1995 Map of Alief

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Suburban expansion defines this portion of western Houston and the surrounding communities of Alief and Stafford. The map reveals a dense network of major thoroughfares like the Sam Houston Tollway and Westheimer Road, reflecting the rapid mid-90s development of the Texas Gulf Coast. Among the residential subdivisions, several notable landmarks remain, including the now-historical Andrau Airpark and major retail hubs like Sharpstown Mall and Westwood Mall. The cultural landscape is anchored by institutions such as Houston Baptist University and the St Cyril Ch, while the region's earlier rural roots are still visible in the scattered burial grounds of the Alief Brethren Cem and Riceville Cem. The natural drainage of the area is governed by the eastward-flowing Brays Bayou and Buffalo Bayou, which are tightly hemmed in by residential streets and commercial centers.
