About this map

The winding Brazos River carves the boundary between Washington, Waller, and Austin counties, defining the landscape of this 2019 survey. This region is characterized by a high density of family and community burial sites, including the Staehle Cemeteries, Apperson Cem, and Washam Cem, which reflect the generations of settlement in these rural Texas bottomlands. The map reveals the layout of small unincorporated communities like Sauney Stand, Buckhorn, and Cochran, each linked by a network of farm-to-market roads and country lanes like Korthauer Rd.

Aviation and agriculture intersect at the Eberly Ranch Airport, while the terrain is further shaped by tributaries such as Gibbs Cr and Caney Cr. The southeastern corner transitions into the Raccoon Bend area, where the local economy and road patterns are influenced by oil field operations. These modern topographic details provide a precise record of the land use and property boundaries that persist in this part of Southeast Texas today.
