1915 Map of Cypress

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Cypress sits at the intersection of early twentieth-century rail and road networks in Harris County, where the Houston and Texas Central railroad cuts a diagonal line across the landscape. The area is defined by its riparian corridors, with Cypress Creek and its tributaries, including Langham Creek and Horsepen Creek, shaping the terrain. This 1915 survey shows a rural community supported by local institutions like the Big Cypress School and Brink School. A notable landmark of the era is the Houston Hot Wells, reflecting the local utilization of mineral waters. Further north, the Cypress Gun Club and Bams Ranch illustrate the varied land use of the period, from private estates to recreational grounds. The network of thoroughfares, such as Rose Hill Road and Spring Road, provided essential connections for the scattered homesteads and small settlements before the region's mid-century expansion.
