2013 Map of Willis

About this map

The growing residential footprint of Willis and Panorama Village dominates this survey, illustrating the expansion of these Montgomery County communities alongside Interstate 45. To the north, the smaller settlements of Ada and Esperanza mark the landscape near the Bnsf rail line. The area is characterized by numerous small bodies of water and residential lake developments, including Frontier Lake, Royal Forest Lake, and Arrowead Lake. The rural history of the region is preserved through landmarks like the Mount Zion church and the Jeraph cemetery near McRae Creek. Industrial activity is evident at the Pitts Gas Field in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Significant watercourses like Caney Creek and East Fork Crystal Creek wind through the terrain, which includes notable elevations like Willis Lookout. Recreational and institutional sites, such as Camp Anges Arnold, are also mapped, showing the diverse use of the land as it transitioned from traditional agriculture and timber toward suburban development.
