About this map

Hockley serves as a central hub on this 2013 survey of Harris County, where the landscape transitions from established settlement patterns to rural aviation and ranching. The area is defined by its significant water features, including Little Cypress Cr and Spring Cr, which drain a territory dotted with private airfields like Biggin Hill Airport and Diamond N Ranch Airport. For those tracing local families, the map provides exact locations for several historic burial grounds, including Macedonia Cem, Hegar Cem, and Roberts Cem.

To the north, the community of Hegar remains a distinct marker of early 20th-century development, situated near Hegar Brothers Lake. The road network reflects a shift toward suburban expansion with residential developments like those along Glenmont Estates Blvd and Brushy Oaks St appearing alongside older landmarks like Tennwood Club Lake. The mapping of these newer subdivisions against traditional waterways and family-named landmarks captures a specific moment of change in the Houston hinterlands.
