2019 Map of Outlaw Pond

About this map

Porter Heights serves as a primary residential hub in this corner of Montgomery County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of small ponds and creek drainages. The naming conventions of these water bodies, such as Outlaw Pond, Sour Pine Pond, and Big Buck Pond, suggest a history of local land use tied to timber and hunting. Aviation and transportation interests are anchored by the North Houston Airport and the modern path of the Grand Pkwy in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of Freeman Cem and Vick Cem, which preserve family names in an area experiencing significant suburban growth. The map illustrates a transition from established rural properties and recreational spots like Humble Club Lake to increasing infrastructure development near Dry Cr and Caney Cr.
