2019 Map of Waller NW

About this map

Kirby Chapel Cem and Rosenau Cem stand as quiet landmarks within this rural landscape north of the Waller community, where the boundaries of Grimes, Waller, and Harris counties meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal and perennial waterways, including the winding courses of Spring Cr and Threemile Cr. These creeks, along with Gladish Cr and Cedar Cr, historically dictated the placement of early farm-to-market roads such as FM 1488 and FM 1736. Near the southern boundary, Japhet Lake and Lynch Lake punctuate the landscape, illustrating the hydrology of the Texas coastal plains. The transition between timber and open prairie is reflected in the local road names, which often preserve the names of early settler families who established themselves along the drainages of Walnut Cr and Brushy Cr.
