About this map

The West Fork San Jacinto River and Spring Creek converge in this low-lying landscape along the boundary of Montgomery and Harris counties. In the early 1980s, this area reflects a mixture of established rural settlements and burgeoning residential developments like Freeway Oaks and Forest Shadows. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of gullys and small named bodies of water, including Tantrough Gully, Big Alligator Pond, and Mc Ginnis Pond, many of which sit within the broader floodplain.

Evidence of local heritage and infrastructure is scattered throughout the quadrangle, from the Southern Pacific rail line serving Bordersville to smaller landmarks like the Enloe Cem and Prater Cem. The presence of gravel pits along the riverbanks and numerous pipelines suggests an active local industry during this era. Educational and spiritual community hubs such as Magrill Sch and Hester Rd Ch are documented alongside specialized sites like the Houston Intercontinental Airport grounds.
