1920 Map of Waller

About this map

The Waller Co Harris Co Boundary Line cuts diagonally through this topography, following the winding path of Spring Creek in the north before striking a straight path south. Published just after the First World War, the map documents the rural character of the region, where family sites like Badke Ranch and the Binford School served as focal points for the local community. The terrain is notably dominated by elevations such as Hockley Mound and a point labeled as the Highest point in Harris County, providing significant landmarks in an otherwise steady coastal plain landscape. Transportation is defined by the Southern Pacific System Houston and Texas Central railroad, which parallels the Houston and Hempstead Road as they pass through the town of Waller. Large portions of the sheet remain marked as a Preliminary Edition Unsurveyed Area, indicating the ongoing nature of the geological mapping project during this era.
