About this map

Houston and its northeastern expansion are defined by a complex web of industrial transit and residential growth in the mid-1940s. The landscape is dominated by the intersecting routes of the Missouri Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads, which serve the critical maritime gateway of the Turning Basin on Buffalo Bayou. This map reveals the early layout of neighborhoods like Trinity Gardens and Houston Gardens, characterized by large garden lots and a high density of community institutions including the Houston Gardens School and Wesley Ch.
