About this map

Settegast and the surrounding industrial corridors of northeast Houston are defined by a complex web of rail infrastructure and residential subdivisions in this 2013 survey. The landscape is dominated by massive logistical hubs, including Settegast Yards, Englewood Yards, and the North Yard, which facilitate the region's heavy transit. These industrial zones are interspersed with established neighborhoods like East Houston, Glen Park, and Melrose Park.

Genealogists can find several important burial sites throughout the area, such as Hollywood Cem, Holy Cross Cem, and the historic Saint Vincent Cem located near the Buffalo Bayou. Significant local landmarks are also preserved on this sheet, from the Kelley Street Incinerator to the Hester House. The intricate drainage system of the Texas Gulf Coast is visible through the winding paths of Halls Bayou, Hunting Bayou, and the Turkey Bend Cutoff, showing how these waterways navigate the dense urban and industrial grid.
