About this map

The San Jacinto River and Lake Houston define the western reaches of this 1967 survey, where riparian landscapes meet the industrial and agricultural corridors of eastern Harris County. The town of Crosby serves as a central hub, anchored by the Southern Pacific rail line and a network of community landmarks including the Sacred Heart Sch, a Fairground, and several country churches like Antioch Ch. To the south, the settlement of Barrett and the riverside community of Magnolia Gardens illustrate the area's residential growth near the water's edge.

Industrial activity is evidenced by the Rankin Oil Field and various gravel pits, while the rural character is preserved in numerous family-named roads such as Adlong Road and Krenek Road. Local social history is highlighted by the presence of Bohemian Hall and several historic burial grounds, including Crosby Cem and Evergreen Cem, providing a detailed record of the region's cultural geography before the intensive suburbanization of the late 20th century.
