2016 Map of Crosby

About this map

The unincorporated community of Crosby serves as the focal point of this coastal prairie landscape, where the residential expansion of the Houston area meets established agricultural and industrial infrastructure. The map details a complex water management system including the San Jacinto River Authority Canal and various reservoirs like the Enderli Reservoir, supporting the region's transition from rural acreage to suburban development. Further south, the settlements of Barrett and Sheldon are depicted alongside the winding San Jacinto River, which feeds into Lake Houston. The presence of numerous specialized industrial sites, such as Sludge Pond Number 1 and Sludge Fill Pond Number 1, highlights the technical land use common in the Harris County industrial corridor. Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented, including Crosby Cem, Evergreen Cem, and Sacred Heart Cem, providing essential markers for local family history research in this rapidly changing territory.
