1995 Map of Settegast

About this map

Settegast Yards dominates the central landscape of this eastern Houston survey, reflecting the intensive industrial and transit infrastructure of the mid-1990s. The map captures a complex urban corridor where Halls Bayou and Hunting Bayou weave through densely packed neighborhoods and industrial zones. To the south, the Turning Basin and Buffalo Bayou anchor the region's shipping economy, while the presence of Hollywood Cemetery, Oak Park Cemetery, and Holy Cross Cem provides significant reference points for local genealogists. Numerous educational institutions, such as Kashmere Gardens High Sch and Forest Brook High Sch, illustrate the established community structure of Settegast and East Houston before the turn of the century. This era of Houston's development is marked by the clear Corporate Boundary lines and a vast network of arterial roads like Liberty Road.
