Buffalo Bayou and Oyster Creek wind through this transitional landscape where the suburban expansion of western Houston meets the historic river-bottom lands of the Harris and Fort Bend County line. The map captures the dense residential development of Cinco Ranch in the northeast, contrasting sharply with the more traditional rural patterns found near Foster and the archaeological landmark at Huntington Mound. Local history is preserved in small burial sites such as Briscoe Cem and Goss Cem, while the aviation needs of the era are represented by Covey Trails Airport. This 2019 survey documents a rapidly evolving region where established ranching history and modern master-planned communities occupy the same river plains.
