Use this radius map for Houston planning
A radius circle centered on Houston answers a surprising range of practical questions: how far a job relocation moves you from family, which towns sit inside a reasonable commute ring, how wide a service or delivery area reaches, or what an emergency-planning buffer covers. Because the circles are straight-line distances, pair them with the miles-to-minutes guide to translate miles into realistic drive times, and remember roads — not straight lines — determine the actual trip.
