The first group is a variety of historical maps of Houston and Harris County produced by different agencies and organizations for different purposes at different times. The second is a collection of Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) produced by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
