About this map

Fields Store serves as a central landmark for this rural Waller County landscape, which is defined by a dense network of meandering waterways and scattered aviation strips. The terrain is partitioned by several major drainages, including Spring Creek, Walnut Creek, and Threemile Creek, which dictate the local road patterns such as Waller-Gladdish Rd. Small-scale water management is evident in the presence of Japhet Lake and Lynch Lake, both created by named dams.

Genealogists and local historians can locate early family-centered burial grounds like the Rosenau Cemetery in the northwest and Kirby Chapel Cemetery to the southwest. The presence of multiple private landing sites, including the Simaron Ranch Airport and Ken Ada Ranch Airport, reflects the modern utility of these large land holdings. The map captures the area's rural character at a time when traditional agricultural properties were increasingly integrated with private aviation and localized water infrastructure.
