Sheldon Reservoir and the Sheldon State Wildlife Management Area dominate the northern landscape of this 1982 Harris County survey, providing a sharp contrast to the dense industrial and residential growth spreading east from Houston. The expansion of suburbs like Cloverleaf, Jacinto City, and Beaumont Place is evident, while the Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific railroads serve as industrial spines for the region. Significant civic landmarks are captured here, from educational centers like San Jacinto College North and Southern Bible College to the medical facilities at Northshore Medical Plaza. The map reveals a complex network of bayous, including Halls Bayou and Greens Bayou, which wind through the emerging suburban street grids, including the historical grounds of the County Cemetery and Bradshaw Cem.
