1955 Map of Park Place

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Buffalo Bayou and the Houston Ship Channel dominate the industrial and residential expansion of southeast Houston during the mid-1950s. This survey captures a landscape of rapid transition, where the heavy rail infrastructure of the Port Terminal RR and Southern Pacific RR supports the shipping docks near Brady Island. Away from the industrial waterfront, neighborhoods like Park Place and Garden Villas are shown in full detail, alongside academic centers including the University of Houston and Texas Southern University.
