1920 Map of Mykawa

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Mykawa serves as a central rail point on this early 20th-century coastal prairie landscape, where the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad bisects a developing grid of agricultural roads. The map reveals a transition from surveyed farm tracts to the Unsurveyed Area further south, with the winding course of Clear Creek defining the natural boundary between Harris and Brazoria counties. This 1915 survey shows a sparsely settled region anchored by the Minnetex School, reflecting the rural education structure of the era. The infrastructure is dominated by regional transit corridors like the Houston and Alvin Road and the Houston and Chocolate Road, which point toward the commercial ties between the growing city to the north and the Gulf Coast hinterlands.
