About this map

Houston's urban expansion and historic cemeteries define this landscape at the end of the 2010s. The map highlights the historic Houston Heights neighborhood and surrounding communities such as Highland Heights and Rosslyn, showing a dense grid of residential streets and arterial roads. Along the southern edge, the sprawling Memorial Park provides significant green space, traversed by a network of recreational paths including the Purple Trail, Orange Trail, and Green Ridge Trail.

Genealogists and local historians will find the concentration of burial grounds particularly notable, ranging from the large Glenwood Cem and Washington Cem along the banks of Buffalo Bayou to specialized sites like Adath Emeth Cem and Adath Israel Cem. The intricate drainage system of the area is also visible, with Whiteoak Bayou, Brickhouse Gully, and Cole Cr winding through the established street networks of Spring Valley Village and Hilshire Village.
