2022 Map of Keith

About this map

Keith serves as the primary community anchor in this part of Grimes County, situated amidst a landscape defined by the expansive Gibbons Creek Reservoir. The terrain north of the reservoir is characterized by a dense network of tributaries including Hog Creek, Plum Cr, and Cedar Creek, which feed into the primary basin. This 2022 survey captures a rural Texas landscape where local history is preserved in sites like Evergreen Cem, Grove Cem, and Enon Cem. The presence of Kellum Springs and various family-named water bodies like Johnson Lake and Frances Lake suggests a long-standing reliance on these local water sources for agriculture and settlement. The elevation rises toward Fawn Oaks Ridge, providing a topographic contrast to the low-lying creek beds and the vast Sulphur Creek bottomlands.
