About this map

The West Fork San Jacinto River meanders across the eastern portion of this landscape, its path defined by numerous backwaters like Bird Lake and Old Boggy Slough. This region of Montgomery County, south of Conroe, shows a mix of established timberlands in the W G Jones State Forest and emerging residential developments. The Missouri Pacific railroad line acts as a central spine, running parallel to the primary highway corridor and connecting the settlements of Shenandoah, Tamina, and Rayford.

Local social history is anchored by several rural landmarks, including the Falvey Memorial Ch and Tamina Cem. Extensive hydrography defines the southern boundary where Spring Creek meets Sam Bell Gully near the Harris County line. The map's 1979 photorevisions (indicated in purple) document the visible expansion of urban areas and new road networks like Sawdust Rd and Rayford Road, capturing a significant period of suburban transition in Southeast Texas.
