1967 Map of Settegast

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Halls Bayou and Hunting Bayou carve through the urban expansion of northeastern Houston in this mid-century period. The map documents a critical infrastructure era, dominated by the massive rail operations of the Settegast yards and the intricate industrial network surrounding the Turning Basin and Washburn Tunnel. This region was rapidly infilling with residential developments like Sherwood Place and North Shadydale, supported by a dense concentration of civic institutions including the Kashmere Gardens High Sch and St Elizabeth Hospital. The landscape is characterized by its transition from suburban margins to the heavy industrial core, with numerous schools such as Smiley High Sch and Luther Burbank Sch reflecting the post-war population boom. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for several large burial grounds, including Oak Park Cem and Hollywood Cemetery.
