About this map

Fields Store serves as the primary landmark in this rural Waller County landscape, situated at the junction of several farm-to-market roads. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the southward-flowing Threemile Creek and Brushy Creek, which drain toward the larger Spring Creek valley. These tributaries carve through the countryside, influencing the placement of early homesteads and ranching operations.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find important sites such as Kirby Chapel Cemetery and Rosenau Cemetery, as well as small private aviation strips like Simaron Ranch Airport. The map documents a transition from traditional agricultural use to rural residential patterns, visible in the cluster of roads around Japhet Lake and Lynch Lake at the southern edge of the survey. The intricate road system, from FM 1488 Road to Skymac Ranch Road, reflects the local transport economy of the early 21st century.
