About this map

White Oak Bayou and Buffalo Bayou carve through the landscape of northwest Houston, where industrial corridors and residential expansion meet in the mid-1950s. The map illustrates a complex network of railways including the Southern Pacific RR and Texas and New Orleans RR, converging at the Eureka Yard. This era reveals a densely developed suburban fabric characterized by numerous neighborhood schools like Reagan High Sch and Geo Washington Carver High Sch, alongside local landmarks like the Heights Hospital.
