About this map

Prairie View and the campus of Prairie View A & M Univ anchor the western portion of this 2016 survey, while the city of Waller straddles the county line to the east. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Mound Creek and Snake Creek, which drain the low-lying terrain typical of this part of the Texas Gulf Coast. The transition from rural acreage to expanding infrastructure is evident in the dense network of farm-to-market roads and new residential developments like Binford Cir and Binford Pl.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented, including Saint Marys Cemetery, Waller Cemetery, and Mathis Cemetery. The survey clearly delineates the border between Harris and Waller Counties, providing a detailed look at the interface between the Houston metropolitan fringe and the outlying agricultural community of Pine Island. Larger bodies of water such as Adams Lake and Dennison Lake serve as local landmarks in an area dominated by creek drainages.
