Image Caption: The grid pattern of a modern American city is well illustrated by this
cloud-free photograph of the Houston-Galveston Metropolitan
area. There are over four million people living in the region and it
is one of the high growth regions in the United States. The changes in
land use patterns are documented from the high density downtown areas
of both Houston and Galveston to the more open areas in the suburban
regions. Galveston Bay is one of the reasons for the growth as well as
area rivers.
