1932 Map of Fauna

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

Greens Bayou and Halls Bayou snake through this landscape east of Houston, their deep meanders cutting through the prairie floor before the onset of modern suburban expansion. The era's transit network is defined by the Southern Pacific System (Texas and New Orleans Road), which bisects the region near the small settlement of Fauna. Local commerce and travel center on historic thoroughfares such as Market Street Road and the Houston and Wallisville Road. At Abbots Store, located along the southern edge of the survey, a window into early 20th-century rural life is preserved, showing the importance of small crossroads outposts. The intricate drainage patterns of Big Gulch and Spring Gulch illustrate a hydrologically complex environment adjacent to Round Prairie, providing a detailed record of the natural topography before later drainage and development altered the watershed.
