About this map

The expansive George Bush Intercontinental Airport dominates the northern landscape, its runways and Control Tower reflecting the late-20th-century aviation infrastructure of northern Houston. This 1995 planimetry highlights the residential growth of neighborhoods like Parkwood Estates, Greenwood Village, and Hardy Heights, which are woven between a network of major arteries including Aldine Bender Road and Vickery Road.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the numerous burial grounds documented, from the large Brookside Memorial Park (Cem) and Rosewood Park Cemetery to smaller sites like Koinm Cem. The map also captures the local educational landscape, identifying campus locations for Mac Arthur High Sch and the Oak Village Middle Sch. The meandering paths of Greens Bayou and Halls Bayou contrast with the industrial presence of oil wells and sewage disposal facilities that dot the outskirts of Humble.
