1975 Map of Houston

About this map

Houston and its burgeoning suburbs define this mid-1970s coastal survey, illustrating the rapid industrial and aerospace expansion of the era. The map highlights the sprawling infrastructure of the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center and the iconic Astrodome, while the ship channel serves as a corridor connecting Pasadena and Baytown to the maritime hubs of Galveston and Texas City. Along the shoreline, significant land use is visible, ranging from the San Jacinto Battleground State Park to the vast Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge.
