About this map

George Bush Intercontinental/Houston Airport dominates the northern landscape of this Harris County quadrant, its runways and taxiways carved out of the drainage basins of Garners Bayou and Greens Bayou. South of the airport, a dense network of suburban developments and established neighborhoods illustrates the rapid expansion of the Houston metropolitan area in the early 21st century. Places like Aldine City, Mount Houston, and Dyersdale are woven together by major transportation arteries including the N Sam Houston Pkwy E and Will Clayton Pkwy.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant burial grounds amidst the residential blocks, such as Brookside Memorial Park, Aldine Cem, and Rosewood Park Cem. The map reveals how the traditional bayou system, including Halls Bayou, continues to dictate the local geography even as residential tracts like Greenwood Village and Kinwood fill the spaces between these vital waterways.
