About this map

The winding meanders of Jones Creek and Flewellen Creek dominate the southern half of this landscape, carving through a region defined by scattered farmsteads and rural congregations. Small community centers such as Spring Green Ch, Wilderness Ch, and Pageville Ch serve the surrounding countryside, while family history is rooted at sites like Briscoe Cem and Goss Cem. The northern portion of the map reveals the massive scale of the Barker Reservoir behind Barker Dam, a critical water management feature near the Harris Co Fort Bend Co line.
