About this map

Lake Houston and the winding course of Luce Bayou dominate this landscape on the border of Liberty and Harris counties. The settlement of Huffman serves as a local hub, featuring the Huffman Sch, Huffman Ch, and several burial grounds including Huffman Cem and the Huffman Community Cem. To the east, the community of Eastgate sits along the Missouri Pacific railroad line, supported by Eastgate Ch.

A network of drainage gullies including Mexican Gully, John Young Gully, and Shook Gully carve through the terrain toward the bayou, illustrating the complex hydrology of the coastal plain. Notable landmarks such as the Fish Hatchery and the historic Atascocita Road trace the area's development. This 1960 topography, updated with late-1970s revisions, captures the transition of the region as residential areas like Lakewood Heights and Hidden Echo began to formalize near the lakefront.
