1967 Map of Houston Heights

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Whiteoak Bayou and Buffalo Bayou frame the urban expansion of northwest Houston during the late 1960s, a period of significant growth for neighborhoods like Houston Heights and Highland Heights. This map highlights the transition from traditional residential grids to more sprawling suburban developments in Hunters Creek Village and Spring Valley. The landscape is densely packed with community landmarks, from Booker T Washington High Sch to several religious institutions including St Marys Seminary and Adath Yeshurun Cem. Large industrial and public works footprints are evident at the Sewage Disposal plant and the Texas Highway Dept facility. The presence of historic burial grounds like Hollywood Cem and Glenwood Cemetery near the city core provides a detailed record for genealogists studying the area's established families and memorial heritage.
