About this map

Huffman serves as the primary hub in this corner of Northeast Harris County during the early 1960s, situated at the junction of the Missouri Pacific railroad and the historic Atascocita Road. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Luce Bayou and Cedar Bayou, which feed into the eastern expanse of Houston Lake. This survey illustrates a transitional period for the area, balancing established rural communities and early residential developments like Lakewood Heights and Hidden Echo.

Genealogists can locate several local landmarks, including the Huffman School, Huffman Church, and the Huffman Community Cemetery. Farther east, the settlement of Eastgate sits near the Liberty County and Harris County line, marked by Eastgate Church and St Annes Cemetery. The presence of numerous oil wells and pipelines throughout the wooded bayou country highlights the industrial activity supporting the local economy during this era.
