1967 Map of Humble

About this map

Houston Intercontinental Airport dominates the northwestern landscape of this survey, reflecting the rapid infrastructure expansion of the late 1960s north of the city. While the airfield features its Control Tower and Water Tanks, the surrounding area retains its suburban and rural character, marked by a high density of educational institutions such as Douglas MacArthur High Sch and Hambrick Jr High Sch. Residential developments like Greenwood Village and Parkwood Estates sit alongside numerous family burial grounds and memorial parks, including Rosewood Park Cem and Brookside Memorial Park (Cem). The natural drainage of the Gulf Coastal Plain is visible through the winding paths of Garners Bayou and Greens Bayou, which intersect the path of the Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific railroads, signaling the enduring importance of rail transport in the Humble area.
