About this map

Sam Houston National Forest dominates the northern half of this landscape, where the headwaters of Jayhawker Creek and Peach Creek flow through a network of logging and access routes like Foster Tram Road and Meeking Road. The topography is defined by the convergence of Montgomery, San Jacinto, and Liberty counties, creating a rural character centered on timber and small settlements. In the southern portion, the small community of Fostoria sits near a prominent Cemetery, while Midline and Security anchor the southwestern corridor.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous local landmarks, including the Security Cemetery, Morgan Cemetery, and Pin Oak Cemetery. Rural life is further mapped through its congregational centers, such as Pilgrim Rest Church and Friendship Church. The presence of several Pipeline corridors and a Pumping Station reflects the region's energy infrastructure, integrated into a landscape dotted with watering holes like Grassy Pond, Bailey Pond, and Horse Marsh.
