About this map

Satsuma and Jersey Village anchor this corner of Harris County, showing the suburban expansion and industrial infrastructure Northwest of Houston in the early 21st century. The map reveals a landscape defined by an intricate network of residential subdivisions like Canterbury Forest, Norchester, and Winchester Country, woven between natural watercourses such as Cypress Creek and Whiteoak Bayou. These bayous and gullies, including Pillot Gully and Faulkey Gully, serve as the primary drainage for the increasingly developed terrain.

Historical remnants of the area's rural and industrial past persist despite the growth. Researchers can locate the Dowdell Cemetery and Perry Cemetery, while the presence of the Fairbanks Oil Field and the Flying Acres Airport highlights the region's diverse economic history. The map also details numerous small reservoirs and dams, such as Marshall Lake and the Neuhaus Lake Dam, which managed water for the surrounding communities and the nearby Camp Holden.
