1975 Map of Houston
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
The massive urban footprint of Houston anchors this mid-1970s look at the Texas Gulf Coast, a period of rapid suburban expansion and industrial dominance. The map details the intricate network of the Houston Ship Channel and the Intracoastal Waterway, which fueled the petrochemical economy of Pasadena, Baytown, and Texas City. Landmarks of the era are clearly marked, from the Astrodome and Rice University to the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center and Ellington Air Force Base, reflecting the city's role in space exploration and national defense.
