About this map

Prairie View A & M College serves as a prominent educational landmark in this southeast Texas landscape, situated just west of the larger settlement at Waller. The area is defined by the boundary between Waller County and Harris County, where agricultural lands are bisected by significant transportation corridors. The Texas and New Orleans and Southern Pacific railroad lines dominate the central east-west axis, facilitating the movement of goods through this rural prairie.

Evidence of local community life is found in several small cemeteries and worship sites, including St Marys Cem and Shiloh Ch. The terrain is drained by a network of waterways like Mound Creek and Kickapoo Creek, while local entertainment and infrastructure are noted by a Drive-in Theater and a Sewage Disposal facility. Smaller named locales like Kulhanek offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in the region.
