About this map

Waller and Prairie View anchor this 2010 survey of the prairie landscape northwest of Houston. The area is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal drainages, including Mound Creek, Ponds Creek, and Snake Creek, which carve across the flat terrain. Local infrastructure is marked by a grid of rural roads such as Field Store Rd and Mathis Rd, reflecting the steady expansion of rural residential parcels and agriculture in the early 21st century.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the mapped locations of Waller Cemetery, Mathis Cemetery, and Saint Marys Cemetery. Water management for the region's ranching or residential needs is evidenced by structures like the Adams Lake Dam and Dennison Lake Dam, which create modest reservoirs on the small tributaries. The map documents a period of transition as traditional open land began to accommodate more structured developments while maintaining its hydrological character.
