1982 Map of Houston Heights

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Houston Heights stands as a primary focal point in this 1982 survey of Harris County, showing the dense residential and industrial grid northwest of the city center. The landscape is defined by the winding corridors of Buffalo Bayou and Whiteoak Bayou, which provided the natural drainage for early urban expansion. Extensive rail infrastructure is prominent, including the Eureka Yard and lines belonging to the Missouri Kansas Texas and Southern Pacific railroads, reflecting the city’s role as a major regional transit hub. For local history and genealogy research, the map provides detailed locations for numerous historic burial grounds such as Glenwood Cemetery, Woodlawn Cemetery, and Beth Israel Cem. Public institutions like the Texas Dept of Public Safety and several specialized medical facilities, including Heights Hosp and Jefferson Davis Hospital, underscore the area's development into a civic and healthcare corridor by the early 1980s.
