1919 Map of Swanson

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

Cypress Creek meanders through this portion of Northwest Harris County, defining a landscape of low-lying prairies and occasional prominent rises like Wolf Hill. Surveyed just before the end of the First World War, the map illustrates the early transportation network that linked these rural ranching lands to regional markets. The Southern Pacific System (Houston and Texas Central RR) and the Houston and Hempstead Road run nearly parallel across the northern section, marking the corridor that would later facilitate suburban expansion.
