1916 Map of Burnett Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1916

About this map

The San Jacinto Battlefield and the surrounding riverine landscape of eastern Harris County are meticulously detailed during the early years of the First World War. This survey captures a transitional era for the region, where historical landmarks like the San Jacinto River and Buffalo Bayou meet the emerging industrial infrastructure of the Houston-Galveston-Ship-Channel. Settlement is concentrated in small communities such as Lynchburg, Elena, and Wooster, each served by local institutions like the Lynchburg School and Elena School.
