About this map

Katy serves as the focal point of this 2010 survey, reflecting the suburban expansion of Harris County. The landscape is defined by a transition from open prairie and rural farm roads like Beckendorff Rd to dense residential subdivisions. Large-scale retail development is anchored by Katy Mills, while numerous private aviation strips including King Air Airport and Hoffpauir Airport dot the northern and eastern reaches.

Water management is prominent throughout the quadrangle, with the headwaters of Buffalo Bayou and drainage features like Cane Island Branch and South Mayde Creek weaving through the developing neighborhoods. For those researching local history, the Magnolia Cemetery stands near the established center of town, surrounded by newer developments such as Katyland and Heritage Meadows. The map captures the area as the former agricultural landscape was being replaced by complex residential networks like the numerous Williamsburg-branded developments.
