About this map

The town of Humble serves as the focal point for this mid-1940s landscape, where the Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific railroads define the industrial and transportation corridors of northern Harris County. To the south, the settlement at Mt Houston is densely platted along Mt Houston Road, while Bordersville sits tucked near the rail lines to the north. This era reveals a transition from rural homesteads toward organized residential growth, yet the drainage patterns of Greens Bayou and Halls Bayou still dominate the topography.

Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped cemeteries, including Koinm Cem, Rosewood Park Cem, and the expansive Brookside Memorial Park Cem. Educational history is noted at the Marrs Sch, located near Aldine Cem. The road network, featuring routes like Aldine Bender Road and Old Humble Road, shows the early connections between these emerging communities before the arrival of the modern interstate system.
