1920 Map of Hockley

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

Hockley serves as the primary hub of this 1916 survey, situated where the Southern Pacific System tracks parallel the Houston Hempstead and Texas Central Road. The landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Spring Creek, Kickapoo Creek, and Little Cypress Creek, which carved the undulating terrain long before the area's modern development. Local industry and social life are anchored by the Bauers Sawmill and Bauers Store in the northern reaches, while education for the surrounding farmsteads was provided at the Georgia School and Hegar School. This map captures Harris County at a pivotal moment when transportation was still dictated by traditional overland routes like Magnolia Road and Rose Hill Road, showing the transition from an agricultural and timber-based economy to a more connected regional network.
