2016 Map of Hockley Mound

About this map

Hockley Mound serves as a prominent geographic anchor on the Waller and Harris County line, defining a landscape marked by small-scale aviation and agricultural heritage. The density of private landing strips, including Zadow Air Airport, Skydive Houston Airport, and Laas Farm Airport, reflects a modern era of rural transit and recreational flight. This network of runways is integrated into a terrain drained by the winding courses of Cypress Cr, Snake Cr, and Live Oak Cr, which cut through the coastal prairie. Genealogists can find localized historical records through the Frey Cem and Warwarofsky Cem, both situated near established rural corridors like Richard Frey Rd and Rochen Rd. The map illustrates the transition from traditional farming to specialized land use, as seen with Pfeffer & Son Farms Airport, while maintaining the original survey boundaries of the Waller and Harris counties.
