About this map

The northern edge of the City of Houston meets a complex industrial and residential fringe during the mid-1910s. This survey captures early development patterns before the city's massive post-war expansion, characterized by a dense web of rail lines including the International and Great Northern and the Southern Pacific System. The landscape is transitioning from prairie to an industrial hub, evidenced by the presence of the Tank Farm near Englewood and the emerging infrastructure at Houston Harbor and Port Houston. Rural education is well-distributed through several neighborhood institutions like Berry School, Sykes School, and Oats Prairie School. Drainage is defined by the winding paths of Halls Bayou and Hunting Bayou, which slice through the developing residential blocks of Brooks Smith Addition and Crosstimbers.
