1982 Map of Crosby

About this map

The San Jacinto River corridor in the early 1980s reveals a transition from traditional rural ranching and bayou landscapes to organized suburban development. High-growth communities like Newport and Indian Shores define the western edge along Lake Houston, featuring extensive planned layouts including the Newport Country Club and Golf Course. In contrast, the established settlement of Crosby remains a focal point of infrastructure, where the Southern Pacific railroad intersects major local thoroughfares like Runneburg Road and Krenek Road. The map is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting several distinct burial grounds including Simms Cem, Sacred Heart Cem, and Evergreen Cem, alongside essential community landmarks like the Sacred Heart Sch and the Fairground.
