1946 Map of Houston Heights

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

Houston's northward expansion is clearly visible in this mid-1940s survey, showing the established grid of the Heights and the emerging residential pockets of Garden Oaks and Eureka Gardens. The landscape is a network of early suburban development intertwined with critical infrastructure, where the Southern Pacific and Missouri Kansas Texas railroads converge at Eureka Junction. The map serves as a census of mid-century community life, documenting dozens of neighborhood institutions such as the James D Burrus Sch, the George Washington Carver School, and the Heights Hospital.
