1916 Map of Harmaston

USGS Topo · Published 1916

About this map

The San Jacinto River meanders through eastern Harris County in this 1916 survey, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and oxbow lakes. Numerous named water bodies like Silver Lake, Mud Lake, and Grassy Lake flank the river’s winding course, while Ingrando Marsh and the Big Eddy mark the complex hydrology of the coastal plain. Transport in the region is anchored by the Beaumont Sour Lake and Western railroad, which cuts a straight path across the terrain, intersecting early settlements such as Spencer, Victor, and Harmaston. The presence of the Tuskesee Ferry and the associated Tuskesee Road provides evidence of river-crossing infrastructure used by local residents before more modern bridges dominated the county. In the southwest, Dyersdale sits near the confluence of Greens Bayou, illustrating the dispersed rural settlement pattern typical of the area before the rapid expansion of Houston.
