1919 Map of Weeden

About this map

Spring Creek meanders along the Montgomery Co Harris Co Boundary Line, carving a deep, complex drainage system through the landscape. This 1919 survey, based on 1916 fieldwork and reprinted in 1932, highlights a region transitioning toward industrial and transportation connectivity. The Houston and East Texas Railway and the Bender Railroad converge near the growing settlement of Humble, indicating the era's rail-dependent economy. Cultural markers of early 20th-century Texas life are preserved here, including the Tullus Cemetery and local education centers like Pine Chapel School and School No 29. The map provides an exceptionally detailed look at the relief around Wild Cow Gulch and Cypress Creek, though a large portion of the northern half remains labeled as a Preliminary Edition Unsurveyed Area, reflecting the ongoing nature of topographic mapping in this period.
