1919 Map of Deepwater

About this map

Buffalo Bayou and the developing Ship Channel dominate this Harris County landscape, showing the industrial and maritime foundations of the Houston area during the late 1910s. The map illustrates a transitional period where rural bayou land was being subdivided for rail-dependent settlements and shipping infrastructure. Along the northern waterfront, the Penn City Ferry and Penn City School serve the nascent Penn City community, while Irish Island and Irish Bend remain prominent natural features in the channel.
