Old Town Spring: IH-45 North @ Spring Cypress
Old Town Spring is best known within Texas for its preserved 19th-century railroad-era commercial district. The unincorporated community lies north of Houston, near Spring Creek and beside the Interstate 45 corridor linking the Houston area with Dallas. Its historic core developed after the railroad arrived in the 1870s and is now occupied by restored wooden and brick buildings housing independent shops, restaurants and galleries. Beyond the old district, suburban development extends across northern Harris County, while the I-45 and Spring Cypress Road junction forms part of a major commuter corridor. Old Town Spring provides a historic contrast to the highway-focused growth of Greater Houston.

The terrain of Texas ranges from pine forests in the east to deserts and mountain ranges in the west, creating striking contrasts in climate, vegetation, and settlement. The state also stretches from the Gulf of Mexico coast to the High Plains, with the limestone hills of the Hill Country lying between. The Rio Grande forms much of Texas’s border with Mexico and has long shaped its geography and cross-border connections. Austin, the state capital, is a major centre for music and technology, while San Antonio’s Alamo recalls the 1836 battle central to Texas history. Ranching traditions, Mexican and Indigenous heritage, and a vast road network give the state a distinctly varied character.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
