1918 Map of Cypress

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Cypress serves as the primary hub of this Harris County prairie landscape during the early twentieth century. The settlement sits at a strategic junction where the Houston and Hempstead Central Road cuts diagonally across the terrain, paralleling the rail line and linking the Gulf Coast to the interior. This survey, conducted just before the United States entered the Great War, reveals a rural economy organized around seasonal waterways and ranching outposts like Bains Ranch.
