1915 Map of Cypress

USGS Topo · Published 1915

About this map

Cypress serves as the primary rail-side hub of this 1915 Harris County landscape, positioned where the Houston and Texas Central railroad intersects the Houston Central and Texas Washington Road. The area is defined by the drainage networks of Big Cypress Creek, Little Cypress Creek, and Dinner Creek, which dictate the placement of early 20th-century ranching and social sites. Notable landmarks like the Houston Hot Well and the Cypress Gun Club suggest a region used for recreation and localized industry alongside traditional agriculture. Educational centers such as Big Cypress School and Brink School are visible, while individual holdings like Bains Ranch highlight the rural settlement patterns before the extensive suburban expansion of the Houston area. Surveyed with a one-foot contour interval, the map provides an incredibly precise look at the nearly flat topography characteristic of the Gulf Coastal Plain.
