About this map

Spring Creek and Cypress Creek serve as the primary hydrologic landmarks for this region north of Houston, where suburban expansion meets the established older communities of Spring, Bammel, and Westfield. The landscape is defined by a series of drainage gullies including Sam Bell Gully, Senger Gully, and Schultz Gully, reflecting the low-lying topography of the Gulf Coastal Plain.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of several family-named cemeteries that predate the modern residential developments of The Woodlands. These include Wunsche Cem, Budde Cem, and Glameyer Cem, which stand alongside Ehrhardt Cem and Mueschke Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure at this time, showing the dense network of roadways like I-45 Frontage Rd and Rayford Rd that facilitate the growth between these historical settlements.
