About this map

Splendora and its surrounding communities in Montgomery County are defined by a complex network of waterways and the Splendora Oil Field. The landscape is etched with various family-named sites and historic landmarks, including Mizell Cemetery, Splendora Cemetery, and the Skinner Cemetery near the southern boundary. These burial grounds, alongside the Kid Cemetery near New Caney, offer significant touchpoints for genealogical research in this part of East Texas.

Hydrological features dominate the terrain, from the East Fork San Jacinto River to the many gullies like Orion Gully and Church House Gully. The era's infrastructure is visible in the series of dams near Patton Village, specifically the Peach Creek Dam, Lakeland Lake Dam, and Patton Village Lake Dam. Large recreational or institutional tracts such as the Houston and Harris County Camp and the Union Encampment highlight the area's use for organized gatherings and community outings.
