1967 Map of Jacinto City

About this map

Industrial expansion and residential growth define this eastern Harris County landscape during the late 1960s. Jacinto City and Galena Park stand as established hubs near the heavy industry of the ship channel, while the red-tinted footprints of Channelview, Cloverleaf, and Beaumont Place show the rapid suburbanization of the era. The mapping of the Sheldon Wildlife Management Area and Sheldon Reservoir to the north contrasts sharply with the oil-rich terrain of Oates Prairie and the various Oil Wells scattered throughout the west.
