1916 Map of Moonshine Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1916

About this map

The San Jacinto River and its East Fork dominate this 1916 advance sheet, illustrating the intricate drainage system of Harris and Montgomery counties before modern suburban development. The landscape is defined by a dense network of waterways and low-lying features like Odom Lake Swamp and the Mc Albany Ponds. The presence of the H. E. and W. T. railroad line cutting through the western portion of the map indicates the primary transportation corridor of the early 20th century. Numerous family-named landmarks such as Bosman Lake, Cobb Gully, and Mills Creek provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local land holdings. This survey, conducted in cooperation with W. H. Ward, County Judge, preserves the natural topography of the area including Blue Lake and Horseshoe Lake during a period of agricultural and timber reliance.
