About this map

Brookshire serves as a central hub in this Waller County landscape, where the grid of the city meets an extensive network of rural roads and aviation facilities. The community of Pattison sits to the northwest, connected by FM 359 and Wilpitz Rd, while the eastern portion of the map is defined by the small settlements of Cardiff and Johnsue. This area is notable for its concentration of private and specialized airfields, including Air Rice Airport, Sport Flyers Airport, Woods Airport, and Jordan Farms Airport, which suggest a strong agricultural aviation or recreational flying presence.

Waterways like Bessies Creek, Bell Bottom Creek, and the Willow Fork drain the flat coastal prairie, winding between large agricultural tracts. Genealogists can locate several burial grounds, such as Wilpitz Cemetery near the creek and Brookshire Cemetery located both north and south of the main township. The infrastructure is anchored by the Katy Fwy, which runs east-west alongside 10th St and the railroad corridor, marking the primary transportation artery through the region.
