About this map

The settlement of Hockley and the northwestern reaches of Houston anchor this landscape where the boundaries of Waller, Harris, and Montgomery counties converge. The local genealogy is exceptionally well-documented through a dense network of family and community burial grounds, including the Leverkuhn Family Cem, Hegar Cem, and the Roberts Cem African American. Water defines the geography, with Spring Creek and Little Cypress Creek winding through the terrain, alongside smaller impoundments like Hegar Brothers Lake and Southard Lake.

Transportation corridors dominate the southern half of the map, where the Union Pacific railroad and major highways parallel one another. This infrastructure supports a mix of rural and suburban utility, as evidenced by the Flying B Ranch Airport and Diamond N Ranch Airport. Residential development is concentrated in the northeast and southeast, while large tracts like the Oil Ranch and Tennwood Club Lake suggest the area's continued transition from traditional agriculture to recreation and residential expansion.
