1920 Map of Hockley

USGS Topo · Published 1920

About this map

The settlement of Hockley serves as the primary hub of this 1916 survey, situated where the Southern Pacific System and Houston and Texas Central rail lines intersect. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of Kickapoo Creek and Spring Creek, which form the county boundaries for Harris, Waller, and Montgomery. Local industry is anchored by Bauers Sawmill in the north, while the rural interior is dotted with community centers like the Hegar School and Georgia School. The map reveals an early road network including the Magnolia Road and Rose Hill Road, which trace the higher ground between the creek drainages. This preliminary edition highlights the transition from wooded creek bottoms to the open prairie, capturing the early twentieth-century development of these Southeast Texas crossroads before later urbanization.
