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.
