2016 Map of Katy

About this map

Katy serves as the focal point of this 2016 survey, situated at the convergence of Harris, Waller, and Fort Bend counties. This era reveals a landscape in rapid transition from its agricultural roots toward dense suburban development, particularly evident in the expansive master-planned community of Cinco Ranch to the southeast. The natural drainage of the Gulf Coastal Plain is marked by the headwaters of Buffalo Bayou and the meandering course of the Willow Fork, which are increasingly hemmed in by residential street networks and the massive Katy Fwy corridor.
