About this map

The Lyndon B Johnson Space Center (NASA) anchors this coastal landscape, reflecting the space-age growth of the early 1980s along the shores of Clear Lake. This era saw the rapid suburban expansion of League City, Nassau Bay, and Taylor Lake Village, where residential developments are interspersed with institutional landmarks like the University of Houston (Clear Lake City Campus) and the Lunar and Planetary Institute.

The map details the complex maritime and industrial interface of Galveston Bay, including the Bayport Ship Channel and the commercial waterfronts of Seabrook and Kemah. Inland, the terrain is defined by tidal waterways such as Armand Bayou and Jarbo Bayou, while the Southern Pacific railroad and the Houston Gulf Airport serve the transport needs of this burgeoning aerospace and petroleum hub. Community life is represented by local staples like St Marys, Fairview Cemetery, and the Bay Area Park.
