About this map

Crosby and Magnolia Gardens anchor this coastal plain landscape where the San Jacinto River and its associated bayous meet the eastern shores of Lake Houston. The geography is defined by a dense network of water management and industrial features, including the San Jacinto River Authority Canal, Sludge Fill Pond Number 1, and several large reservoirs like Enderli Reservoir. The Union Pacific railroad cuts a straight line through the center of Crosby, paralleling the primary highway corridor and marking the historical spine of local transport.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including Lynch Cem, Crosby Cem, Evergreen Cem, and Sacred Heart Cem. The residential development patterns vary from the grid-like streets near Crosby High Sch to the winding, themed roads of the lakefront, such as Saddle Creek Farms Dr and Indian Shores RD. The map also captures the quiet transition across the Liberty and Harris county line in the northeast corner near Jackson Bayou.
