1967 Map of Park Place

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Buffalo Bayou and its industrial Turning Basin anchor the northeast corner of this Southeast Houston landscape, illustrating the city's mid-century expansion toward the coast. The urban fabric is a dense network of neighborhoods like Park Place, Magnolia Park, and Riverside Terrace, intersected by the emerging Gulf Freeway and South Loop. This era marks a significant academic footprint for the region, with the large campuses of the University of Houston and Texas Southern University clearly defined. To the south, the massive layout of Houston International Airport dominates the map, bordered by drainage systems such as Sims Bayou and Berry Bayou. The map captures the transition from residential grids and schools like Sterling High Sch to the heavy shipping infrastructure along the ship channel, including the Manchester and Clinton Park districts.
