2018 Map of Houston West

About this map

The Yalobusha River winds through the western half of this Chickasaw County landscape, defining a wide floodplain that borders the small rural communities of Thorn and Pyland. To the east, the terrain transitions into more developed grounds surrounding the outskirts of Houston, where the Houston Municipal Airport and a grid of residential streets like Swine DR and Industrial DR mark the edge of the city. This 2018 survey reveals a territory shaped by its watercourses, including Fourmile Cr, Pettigrew Cr, and Chico Cr, which flow through the undulating hills toward the larger river basin. Notable for local history and genealogy researchers, the map identifies several distinct crossroads and hamlets such as Thelma in the north and Hall near the center, providing a clear record of rural settlement patterns and the extensive network of county roads that have connected these communities for generations.
