About this map

The winding courses of Jones Creek, Oyster Creek, and Flewellen Creek define this landscape on the edge of the Houston Corporate Boundary during the 1970s. The transition from agricultural land to oil exploration is evident through the numerous Oil Well symbols and a dedicated Oil Field north of the Southern Pacific tracks. Settlement patterns follow the higher ground near the waterways, with established communities like Gaston and Foster serving as local hubs.
