About this map

Crosby and its surrounding residential developments characterize this landscape east of Lake Houston in the early 21st century. The map details an area defined by its proximity to the San Jacinto River and its intricate network of drainage ditches, such as Adlong Ditch, which manage the low-lying terrain near Jackson Bayou. Significant local landmarks include Dunham Field Airport and the cultural presence of Bohemian Hall, alongside several community burial grounds like Crosby Cem, Lynch Cem, and Evergreen Cem.

The industrial and resource-based economy of the region is evident through the Rankin Oil Field in the north and the heavy rail presence of the Union Pacific line. Numerous small communities and subdivisions, including Magnolia Gardens, Barrett, and Crosby Woods, are linked by a dense grid of residential streets with evocative names like White Feather Trl and Silver Moon Trl. Large reservoirs such as the W Scott Frost Reservoir Number 1 and Enderli Reservoir further highlight the area's managed water systems.
