1920 Map of Fauna

USGS Topo · Published 1920

About this map

Greens Bayou winds through the heart of this East Texas coastal landscape, its deeply etched banks and tributaries like Spring Gully and Big Gulch defining the local drainage patterns long before the intensive industrialization of the region. The map reflects a rural economy dependent on a few key arteries, most notably the Southern Pacific System rail line and several established thoroughfares such as the Market Street Road. Settlement is sparse, anchored by the rail stop at Fauna and the local landmark of Abbots Store to the south. The surrounding terrain varies from the low-lying wetlands of Carpenters Bayou to the slightly elevated grounds of Round Prairie, providing a detailed record of the topography and natural drainage features of Harris County shortly after the First World War.
