2010 Map of Spring

About this map

Spring Creek and Cypress Creek define the low-lying drainage of this North Houston landscape, as it transitioned from its petroleum-producing roots into a dense network of suburban residential developments. While newer neighborhoods like Bridgestone West and Lexington Woods fill the terrain, several older landmarks remain. The Goodyear Airship Operations Airport stands as a notable aviation site, while numerous family-name burial grounds including the Wuensche Cemetery and Budde Cemetery provide a vital link to the area's early German-settler history. Petroleum activity is still visible in the northern reaches via the Bender Oil Field and Kuhlman Oil Field, demonstrating the area's ongoing industrial utility amidst suburban sprawl. A complex hydrological system of gullies, such as Seals Gully and Senger Gully, underscores the region's flat, flood-prone topography that shaped 21st-century civil engineering and road layouts like the Hardy Toll Rd.
