1995 Map of Friendswood
USGS Topo · Published 1999About this map
Friendswood Oil Field and the sprawling military installation at Ellington Field anchor this mid-1990s look at the rapid suburbanization south of Houston. The landscape is a complex intersection of industry and infrastructure, where numerous oil wells and the tracks of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad meet the burgeoning residential developments of Pearland, Friendswood, and Clear Lake City. Commercial hubs like Almeda Mall and Baybrook Mall follow the corridor of the Gulf Freeway, illustrating the late-century transition from oil-patch economy to regional retail and services.
