neighborhood map in Houston (neighborhoods, school district, subdivisions)

[anna_b]

Hi

I am working on a project for neighborhoods in the city of Houston and I am looking for a good map of these neighborhoods.

City of Houston My City - Map Viewer
http://www.houstontx.gov/planning/_G...in_Houston.pdf

These are two links I have found. How accurate are they? Are they up-to-date?

Thank you

Well the first map doesn't load for me and the second is the superneighborhoods map which was created in the '00s so it should be about the same today. I don't know what you're trying to accomplish, but there are usually multiple ways to define Houston. One is by school district, another by historical farm/ranch/town offshoot development, another is by the artificially created superneighborhoods, and finally by plot developer official titles (river oaks, meyerland, idylwood, inwood forest, etc). How would you like to split the pie?

I am looking to see if the city has true neighborhoods, meaning breakdowns of the city in subdivisions which are largely recognized by the people in that city (similar to new york or san diego). I must stress the idea of recognized. I look for the divisions people most often refer to, whichever they might be.

It's a blend but the superneighborhoods subdivide a bit more than most people would recognize. Certain areas like the heights have very defined boundaries and identities, northwest Houston between west 43rd north to the beltway don't. A true map would have very defined inner loop neighborhoods and things get spottier outside. A map would have areas named and lots of unnamed spots. Then the outside the beltway suburbs are just nebulous clouds generally defined (mostly by school district or MPC name).

I don't wanna be picky or anything, but I am also interested in maps rather than just names. I would want to see the closest versions of neighborhoods in the city and how different people / organizations would define these neighborhoods and their shape.
I'd appreciate some help.
Thank you.
