1970 Map of Cypress

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal line across this Harris County landscape, anchoring the settlement of Cypress and the nearby Hot Wells area. The 1970 field check, updated in 1980, reveals a community transitioning from rural prairie to early suburban expansion, evidenced by the purple-tinted urban revisions around Cy-Fair High Sch and Arnold Jr High Sch. This era captures the intricate network of family heritage preserved in local burial grounds such as Graves Cem, Roeder Cem, Muller Cem, and Knigge Cem, scattered among the drainages of Cypress Creek and Little Cypress Creek. The southern edge is defined by the upper reaches of the Addicks Reservoir floodpool, where Langham Creek and Horsepen Creek converge. Landmarks like the Rodeo Ground and Weiser Airport illustrate the local character of the period before the heavy residential development of the late 20th century.
