Sims Bayou and Mustang Bayou define the drainage of this suburban and industrial landscape on the southern edge of the Houston metro area. The map reveals a transition from dense residential developments like Post Oak Village and Canterbury Village in the north to more scattered settlements such as Fresno and Arcola further south. This period is marked by significant infrastructure, including the Blue Ridge Oil Field and the sprawling Blue Ridge State Prison Farm. Aviation history is well-represented with both the Flyin' B Airport and Houston Southwest Airport in operation. For those researching family history, the map identifies local landmarks such as Mustang School, Beth Jacob Cem, and Fresno Cem, providing essential points of reference for the early 21st-century community.
