2013 Map of Hempstead

About this map

Hempstead serves as the primary hub of this Waller County landscape, situated where several Farm to Market roads converge north of the Brazos River. The map documents a mix of agricultural land and early 21st-century residential growth, particularly around the city center and the smaller settlement of Pine Island. To the southwest, the Raccoon Bend Oil Field indicates the area's industrial importance, while numerous small water bodies like Clear Cr, Lewisville Cr, and Threemile Cr thread through the terrain. Local history is anchored by sites such as Brenham Cem and a network of family-named routes, including Wyatt Chapel Rd and Joe Loggins Rd, which reflect the community's rural roots. The inclusion of the Old Houston Highway and Liendo Pkwy highlights the long-standing transportation corridors that have shaped this region of Southeast Texas.
