About this map

The massive footprint of Houston Intercontinental Airport dominates the northwest corner of this 1982 survey, its runways and Control Tower serving as a modern anchor for the rapidly expanding suburban landscape north of Houston. Surrounding the airfield, the map documents a transition from the old rail-and-bayou economy to modern aviation and residential growth. Long-standing communities like Bordersville and Humble sit alongside developing residential tracts in Parkwood Estates and Greenwood Village, while the industrial legacy of the region is visible in the numerous Oil Wells scattered near Dyersdale and along the Southern Pacific tracks.

Local history is preserved through the mapping of several cemeteries, including the expansive Brookside Memorial Park (Cem) and the smaller Koinm Cem. Educational infrastructure is well-defined, showing the locations of regional landmarks such as Mac Arthur High Sch and Hambrick Jr High Sch. The drainage network of Greens Bayou and Garners Bayou provides the primary natural framework for this developing corner of Harris County.
