About this map

The Brazos River meanders through the western portion of this Waller County landscape, defining deep curves at Raccoon Bend and Wildcat Bend. This 2010 survey shows a rural region structured by long-established farm-to-market roads and a dense network of family and community burial sites. The small settlement of Monaville sits at the junction of FM 1887 and FM 359, while to the south, the community of Sunny Side is anchored by the Sunny Side Post Office.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of cemeteries across the territory, including Saint Thomas Cemetery, Harper Cemetery, and Mount Zion Cemetery. The landscape is further marked by a series of oxbow lakes and drainages such as Cunny Lake, Hannay Lake, and Irons Creek. Small-scale aviation is represented by Pea Patch Airport and Mikeska Field, reflecting the open, low-lying character of this Texas Gulf Coast plain.
