About this map

Lake Houston and the San Jacinto River dominate this 2016 survey, documenting the suburban expansion and hydrological landscape of northeast Harris County. The established communities of Humble and Atascocita show a dense network of residential streets, while the southern portion transitions into the protected wetlands of the Sheldon Reservoir. The interface between developed land and water is clearly defined, particularly where Rogers Gully and Williams Gully feed into the lake.

Local historians can trace the smaller settlements of Harmaston and Dyersdale, which represent the earlier agricultural and rail-connected history of the region. Distinctive features like the Harrington Cem and the natural bend of the Big Eddy provide grounded points of reference for genealogists. The map also captures the complex drainage systems of Garners Bayou and Greens Bayou, illustrating how modern infrastructure navigates the coastal prairie terrain near Buckhorn Lake.
