1920 Map of Highlands
USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
The San Jacinto Battlefield and the Ship Channel anchor the southern reaches of this 1916 survey, documenting the industrial and cultural geography of Harris County before mid-century expansion. This riverine landscape is dominated by the winding path of the San Jacinto River, which separates Hog Island from the mainland and feeds into Burnett Bay. The small settlement of Lynchburg serves as a focal point near the confluence, featuring the Lynchburg School and an early Oil Pumping Station, signaling the region's emerging energy economy.
