USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
San Jacinto River meanders through this mid-century landscape where industry and heritage meet near the confluence of Buffalo Bayou. This survey captures the massive footprint of the San Jacinto Ordnance Depot south of Channelview, bordered by the Ordnance Boundary. Across the water, San Jacinto State Park preserves the site of the 1836 battle, notably marking the position of the Battleship Texas and the Historical Monument near the Lynchburg Ferry Landing.
