2010 Map of Park Place

About this map

Buffalo Bayou and its winding tributaries, including Brays Bayou and Sims Bayou, dictate the urban geometry of this southeast Houston landscape. The map highlights the significant industrial and maritime infrastructure along the ship channel, noted by Manchester Dock Two and the distinct river bends of Harrisburg Bend and Upper Clifton Bend. This area is a dense patchwork of established neighborhoods such as Magnolia Park, Eastwood, and Harrisburg, reflecting the city's twentieth-century expansion toward the coast. Educational landmarks like the University of Houston and Texas Southern University anchor the northwest, while the vast grounds of William P Hobby Airport dominate the southern portion. The presence of several historic burial grounds, including Evergreen Cemetery and Jackson Cemetery, provides a valuable spatial record for genealogists tracing family roots within these diverse urban communities.
