The Brazos River forms a serpentine western border for this part of Waller County, carving out dramatic oxbows like Wildcat Bend and feeding secluded waters such as Cuny Lake and Palmer Lake. At the start of the 1960s, the landscape was defined by a mix of agricultural plots and petroleum extraction, most notably at the Racoon Bend Oil Field where numerous Oil Wells and a Sludge Pit are documented.
