1982 Map of Park Place

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

William P Hobby Airport anchors the southern landscape of this southeast Houston region, illustrating the intense urban and industrial development along the Texas Gulf Coast. The map detail highlights the complex infrastructure required for a major metropolitan hub, from the dense network of the Houston Belt and Terminal RR to the convergence of the Gulf Freeway and South Loop. Educational institutions like Texas Southern University and the University of Houston appear alongside numerous neighborhood schools and the expansive Forest Park Cemetery. The winding courses of Buffalo Bayou and Brays Bayou contrast with the heavy industrial character of the Turning Basin and the Manchester district. This survey also records the presence of the Municipal Prison Farm and various public parks including Emancipation Park and Mac Gregor Park, documenting the mid-century spatial organization of the city.
