Title	River Oaks Map
Original Publisher	River Oaks Corporation, River Oaks Boulevard at Westheimer, Houston
Date Original	May 1927
Date Revised	October 1927 ; January 1, 1935
Description	Shows numbered lots, streets, and parks. Includes "Facts About River Oaks" on back of map. Title from printed inscription. Scale of map is approximately 100 ft. to 1/2 in. Relief shown pictorially.
Caption	Written on back: "River Oaks, within fifteen minutes of your Appointment. How far do you live from those places you visit most often? Not how far in point of actual distance, necessarily, but how far in point of time? Added to the many admittedly unique advantages enjoyed by residents of River Oaks, is the advantage of possibility. Rive Oaks, away from the city's heaviest and noisiest traffic is, nevertheless, conveniently accessible to all sections of Houston. River Oaks is within ten minutes of the down-town shopping and theatre district, within twelve minutes of the Grand Central railroad station, within thirteen minutes of the Union Terminal, within eleven minutes of the Warwick Hotel and within five minutes of two junior high schools. The actual driving time from a point in the approximate center of River Oaks (corner Inwood and Kirby Drive) to various key points is indicated on the map to the left. This time is computed for the conservative driver, at no more than twenty miles and hour over the shortest paved route."
