1962 Map of Rose Hill

About this map

Spring Creek meanders along the northern boundary of this 1962 landscape, marking the transition between Montgomery and Harris counties. The area is defined by a traditional rural settlement pattern centered on Rose Hill, where family histories are preserved at the Rose Hill Cem and nearby St John Ch. While the town of Tomball appears on the eastern edge with its Elementary School and Refinery, much of the quadrangle consists of open land cut by Willow Creek and Little Cypress Creek. The presence of numerous gas wells and sludge pits indicates the early industrial footprint of the region's petroleum sector, even as agricultural landmarks like the Letter M Ranch and small family burial grounds like Zahn Cem and Baker Cem remain prominent features of the terrain.
