1916 Map of Genoa

USGS Topo · Published 1916

About this map

Genoa and the surrounding coastal prairies of Harris County are captured here during a period of rapid transit development between Houston and the coast. The Galveston-Houston Electric railway cuts a diagonal path through the landscape, a signature piece of infrastructure that once connected these rural outposts via high-speed interurban rail. This transport corridor served small settlements like Olcott and Webster, providing a vital link for local agriculture to reach regional markets.
