1961 Map of Maedan

About this map

The West Fork San Jacinto River carves a winding path through this early 1960s landscape, marking the transition from the piney woods of Montgomery County to the growing northern outskirts of Harris County. The community of Bordersville sits just north of Humble, where the Southern Pacific railroad corridor facilitates regional transport. The map records a dense network of water features and local landmarks, from the small settlements of Maedan and Sorters to the numerous wetlands like Little Alligator Pond and Mink Pond. Cultural sites including Enloe Cem and Tetter Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogical research. The emergence of residential areas like Forest Shadows and Freeway Oaks reflects the mid-century suburban expansion into the river bottomlands, while older structures like Lakeview Park Ch and Oak Grove Ch remain as established community anchors.
