2019 Map of Daniels

About this map

The Brazos River creates a meandering border between Washington and Waller Counties, carving a distinctive landscape defined by significant alluvial features like Mexican Bend and Clark Bottom. The settlement of Daniels sits centrally among a network of rural routes, including Old Plantation Rd and Old Stagecoach Rd, which hint at the historical travel patterns through this part of East Texas. Genealogists may find interest in the Franklin Cem located in the northern portion of the quadrangle. The hydrology of the area is particularly complex, with numerous drainages such as New Year Creek, Walnut Bayou, and Jackson Cr feeding into the main river system. Notable water bodies like Hughes Lake and the smaller Clark Lake further define the terrain, which is largely shaped by the erosive force of these varied waterways.
