About this map

Cypress Creek and its many tributaries, including Pillot Gully and Faulkey Gully, define the suburban landscape of Northwest Harris County in this 2013 survey. The area shows a dense network of residential developments and master-planned communities like Canterbury Forest, Huntwick Forest, and Champions East. This modern geography reveals how the region’s natural waterways and drainage basins have been integrated into the sprawling residential corridors north of Houston.

Industry and commerce are represented by the Fairbanks Oil Field and the large commercial hub at The Commons at Willowbrook. Local history is anchored by early burial grounds such as Dowdell Cem and Perry Cem, which remain as quiet landmarks amid the rapid growth of neighborhoods like Jersey Village and Satsuma. The map also traces the winding course of Whiteoak Bayou and Greens Bayou, highlighting the hydrologic features that shape the area's development and infrastructure.
