1922 Map of Park Place

USGS Topo · Published 1922

About this map

Magnolia Park and the industrializing eastern edge of Houston dominate this 1915 survey. The map depicts a landscape in rapid transition as the ship channel takes shape, centered on the Turning Basin and the winding course of Buffalo Bayou. Extensive rail infrastructure, including the Southern Pacific System and the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe Road, cuts across the terrain to serve the emerging Municipal Wharf. Away from the industrial waterfront, early residential developments like Park Place, Forest Hills, and Brookline appear alongside established landmarks such as the Houston Country Club and Evergreen Cemetery. South of these settlements, the land remains largely open, drained by Brays Bayou and Sims Bayou, with rural roads like Chocolate Road and Alvin Road providing the primary overland connections.
