1961 Map of Tamina

About this map

The West Fork San Jacinto River winds through this landscape, defining a terrain of numerous oxbow lakes and sloughs like Bird Lake and Boggy Slough. The area is characterized by its transition from the managed timber of the W G Jones State Forest in the northwest to the emerging residential clusters of Shenandoah and Tamina. The Missouri Pacific railroad serves as a central spine for the region, paralleled by rural routes such as Needham Road. Local history is anchored by community landmarks including Falvey Memorial Ch, Tamina Ch, and the Tamina Cem. Water remains a dominant feature throughout, from named ponds like Webber Pond to larger bodies such as Champion Lake, reflecting the low-lying, creek-fed geography north of the Montgomery and Harris county line.
