About this map

Howth and the surrounding Waller County landscape are defined by the winding course of the Brazos River, which forms the western boundary of this territory. The area reflects a rural Texas character where small settlements like Rock Island and Lawrence Key are interspersed with numerous family and community burial grounds, including Salem Cemetery and Cedar Creek Cemetery. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Clark Bottom near the river to the higher ground of Rolling Hills, where water management is evident at Rolling Hills Dam.

Modern land use is highlighted by the Hempstead Gliderport near the southern edge, while the hydrography is a complex network of creeks such as Donahoe Creek and Gladish Creek that drain into the Brazos basin. This 2010 survey captures the region's balance of traditional agricultural spaces and newer residential developments like Rolling Hills Lake, providing a clear record of the area's late-twentieth-century evolution.
