About this map

Industrial expansion along the Buffalo Bayou and the Houston Ship Channel dominates this mid-century portrait of Harris County. Large refinery complexes and filtration plants underscore the region's emergence as a global petrochemical hub, while the San Jacinto Ordnance Depot occupies the northeastern reaches. The residential growth of Pasadena is evident through a dense grid of neighborhood schools like Kruse Sch and Richey Sch, alongside the developing outskirts of South Houston and Golden Acres.
