2019 Map of Waller

About this map

Waller sits at the intersection of rural heritage and suburban expansion, straddling the line between Waller County and Harris County. This landscape is defined by the headwaters of the regional drainage system, with Mound Creek, Snake Creek, and Ponds Creek carving paths through the terrain. The presence of Saint Marys Cemetery and Waller Cemetery provides a genealogical anchor for local families, while the northern reaches of Houston and the university community of Prairie View reflect the area's development along the primary transit corridors. The survey captures a network of family-named roads like Mayer Road and Joe Loggins Road that connect scattered farmsteads and agricultural plots. This map documents a transition in land use, where established rural roads meet newer residential developments, all centered around the water resources of Adams Lake and Little Mound Creek.
