About this map

Sheldon Reservoir and the Sheldon State Wildlife Management Area anchor the northern landscape of this eastern Harris County survey, where suburban expansion meets the industrial corridors of the Houston ship channel area. The early 1980s residential growth is evident in the dense street grids of Jacinto City, Galena Park, and Cloverleaf, while the southern reaches transition into the heavy industrial and port infrastructure of Jacintoport.

Transport and community infrastructure are highly detailed, showing the Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific railroad lines that fueled the region's economy. The map identifies numerous local landmarks for researchers, from the Sheldon State Fish Hatchery to the County Cemetery and Bradshaw Cem. Educational and social hubs like the Southern Bible College, Crenshaw Memorial Stadium, and several shopping centers including the Federal Shopping Ctr illustrate the maturing suburban fabric of the time.
