Abandoned streets and roads of Houston & Harris County
Old Katy Road (State Highway 73)
Old Katy Road, near Katy Road and Hempstead:
Very old sections. Probably was part of State Highway 73. This was known as Old Katy Road. When the new Katy Road was built is not known, but this old section may or may not have changed it's designation to U.S. 90. Old maps do show an intersection of State Highway 6 (now Hempstead Road, no designator) with State Highway 73 near this spot. Of course, Interstate 10 pretty much took away the SH 73 designation and you won't see many U.S. 90 signs on Interstate 10, either.
