About this map

The Brazos River carves a winding path along the western edge of this landscape, defining the borders where Washington, Grimes, and Waller counties meet. This area, dominated by the lowlands of Clark Bottom, shows a transition from the river's riparian environment to the structured rural developments around Howth. The corridor is defined by the BNSF Railway, which runs north-south alongside numerous watercourses like Beason Creek and Donahoe Cr.

Genealogists will find several burial sites scattered across the terrain, including Salem Cem, Rock Island Cem, and Cedar Creek Cem. The map also illustrates the growth of residential pockets such as Rolling Hills Lake and the presence of the Weeski Ranch Airport in the northeast. This 2019 survey documents a region where longstanding family cemeteries and small creek-side settlements persist amidst the modern transportation networks of the Texas interior.
