2013 Map of Friendswood

About this map

Friendswood Oil Field and numerous suburban developments define the landscape southeast of Houston during the early 21st century. The map illustrates a dense residential network stretching between Genoa and Webster, where established communities like Olcott and Humble Camp sit alongside newer subdivisions such as Sagemont Park and Baybrook Village. Transport and aviation infrastructure are central to the region's character, with the sprawling Ellington Field Airport in the northeast and Pearland Regional Airport to the west. This period shows a complex environment where industrial history meets rapid residential growth, tied together by the Gulf Fwy and Dixie Farm Rd corridors. Natural drainage via Turkey Creek and Clear Creek provides a persistent geographic framework amidst the expanding asphalt and rooftops of the coastal plain.
