1955 Map of Friendswood
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
Ellington Air Force Base dominates the northeastern landscape of this mid-century survey, a period when the surrounding coastal prairies were rapidly transitioning from agricultural use to industrial and suburban expansion. The Friendswood Oil Field and the Galveston Houston and Henderson railroad lines illustrate the region's reliance on energy and transportation. Near the tri-county junction of Harris, Brazoria, and Galveston, the community of Friendswood sits nestled along the winding course of Clear Creek.
