Introduction

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) proposes to improve approximately 2.5 miles of

Loop 336 South from Interstate Highway (IH) 45 to Farm-to-Market (FM) 1314 in Conroe, Montgomery

County, Texas (Figure 1). The proposed project would create a divided 4-lane highway by constructing

a 2 lane roadway to the south of the existing roadway. The new lanes would serve as the east bound

lanes with the existing lanes being converted to serve west bound traffic. The existing Loop 336 (from

East of Cypress Lane Boulevard to West of FM 1314) consists of one 13.5-foot lane (west bound lane)

and one 12 foot lane (east bound lane) with an 8-foot outside shoulder, within a 300-foot right-of-way

(ROW).The proposed Loop 336 westbound lanes would consist of one 13.5-foot lane and one 12 foot

lane with an 8-foot outside shoulder. The proposed eastbound lanes would consist of two 12-foot

lanes, a 15-foot outside shoulder, and a 10-foot hike and bike trail. The hike and bike trail would be off-

set from the shoulder by 10-foot. An approximate 192-foot grassy median would be located between

the eastbound and westbound lanes.

Similarly, the existing Loop 336 at FM 1314 consists of one 13.5-foot lane and one 12-foot-lane

(westbound lanes), a center left turn lane, two 12-foot lanes (eastbound lanes) and an 8-foot outside

shoulder. The proposed Loop 336 at FM 1314 westbound lanes would consists of one 13.5-foot lane,

two 12-foot lanes, one 12-foot left turn lane, and a 20-foot inside shoulder. The eastbound lanes

would consist of one 12-foot left turn lane, two 12-lanes, a 15-foot outside shoulder, and a 10-foot hike

and bike trail. The hike and bike trail would be off-set from the shoulder by 10-foot. An approximate

142-foot grassy median would be located between the eastbound and westbound lanes (see Attached

Project Schematics).

The proposed project is being funded by the TxDOT using federal funds. Since the project is being

built with federal transportation money on land owned or controlled by the State of Texas, it is

considered an undertaking subject to the provisions outlined under Section 106 of the National

Historic Preservation Act (Section 106) and the Antiquities Code of Texas (ACT).

The Area of Potential Effects (APE) for archeological resources for this undertaking is defined as the

footprint of the proposed project to the maximum depth of impact, including all easements, and

project specific locations. Therefore, the APE for archeological resources will cover a total distance of

approximately 6.4 miles and encompass an area of approximately 105 acres, all of which will take

place entirely within existing ROW (Figure 2). The vertical APE (depth of impacts) is estimated to

extend no more than three to five feet into the subsurface. Project schematics provided by the

Houston District are attached.

Physical Setting

The APE is located within the Southern Tertiary Uplands, a sub region of the South Central Plains

ecoregion (Griffith et al. 2007). This ecoregion, which is locally known as the “piney woods”, is

characterized by irregular plains and “represents the western edge of the southern coniferous forest

belt” (Griffith et al. 2007:87). The Southern Tertiary Uplands encompasses approximately 7667 square

miles and consists of “dissected irregular plains with some low, rolling hills; low to moderate gradient

streams with sandy and silty substrates” (Griffith et al. 2007:91). Historically, natural vegetation

consisted of upland longleaf pine-bluestem (Pinus palustris-Schizachyrium spp. and Andropogon spp.)

woodlands, shortleaf pine-hardwood forests (Pinus echinata-Quercus spp.), mixed hardwood-loblolly

pine (Pinus taeda) forests, American beech (Fagus grandifolia) or magnolia-beech-forests, bogs, and

sandstone glades. Bog plant species include southern sweetbay (Magnolia virginiana), hollies or

gallberry (Ilex spp.), wax-myrtles (Morella spp.), insectivorous plants, orchids, and wild azalea

(Rhododendron spp.). Today, pine forest is the dominant vegetation type with National Forest land

making up large parts of this region (Griffith et al. 2007).

The APE is underlain by the Tertiary-age Willis Formation (Pow), which is composed mostly of clay,

silt, sand, and siliceous granule to pebble gravel (BEG 1992). According to the United States

Department of Agriculture – Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS 2016) Web Soil

Survey (2016), soils within the APE consist of eight soil groups (Table 1). Soils are characterized by

loam to very fine sandy loam with restrictive features, such as clay, encountered as shallow as 36

centimetres below the ground surface.

Current Setting Located in southeast Conroe, Texas, the APE is within and surrounded by undeveloped woodland. The

existing two-lane undivided FM 336 roadway parallels an approximately 100-foot wide cleared area

(Figure 3) for much of its length. Topographically, the APE is hilly with elevations ranging from 141 to

184 feet above mean sea level. The APE crosses Stewarts Creek and abuts Little Caney Creek at its

easternmost terminus. Both creeks empty into the West Fork of the San Jacinto River located roughly

3.5 kilometers to the south and southwest of the APE. Disturbances within the APE are minimal and

include land clearing activities and those associated with the construction of roads, such as artificially

levelled and paved surfaces (Figure 4).

Archeological Background and Previous Archeological Studies

Background research for this project consisted of an online records search through the Texas

Historical Commission’s Archeological Sites Atlas (Atlas; 2016) and a review of historical maps and

aerial photographs. Research focused on the identification of archeological sites, sites listed as State

Antiquities Landmarks (SALs), Recorded Texas Historic Landmarks (RTHLs), sites listed on the

National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), cemeteries, and previously conducted archeological

surveys within one kilometer (0.62 mile) of the APE (Figure 5). The search revealed that no previously

recorded archeological sites, SALs, RTHLs, or sites listed on the NRHP fall within one kilometer (0.62

mile) of the APE. However, one cemetery and 12 previously conducted archeological surveys (Table 2)

are near or transect the APE.

The Conroe Memorial Park Cemetery (Cemetery ID Number: MQ-C011) is situated approximately 825

meters to the north of the APE. The cemetery opened in 1944 and reportedly contains over three

thousand internments. It is still active. The proposed undertaking will not have any foreseen effects on

the cemetery.

A total of 12 previously conducted archeological surveys fall within one kilometer (0.62 mile; Table 2).

Of these, only three intersect with the project area and none of the archeological surveys resulted in

the recording of new archeological sites within or near the APE.

Historic Land Use

Conroe, the county seat of Montgomery County, was established when Houston lumberman Isaac

Conroe moved his sawmill from Stewarts Creek to the International-Great Northern Railroad’s (I-GN)

Houston-Crockett line. Conroe’s sawmill became a station along the I & GN Railroad and by 1884.

Around this time, the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway’s Navasota-Montgomery spur was built

through Conroe forming the only major junction of rail lines in Montgomery County. Settlers moved

to the region with the prospect of profiting from the region’s lumber boom. As a result, in 1889, the

population had reached 300 residents. Situated along a major rail line junction, By 1892, Conroe also

supported five steam-powered saw and planning mills, several brickyards, a cotton gin, a gristmill,

several hotels and general stores, and supported a population of 500 residents. Conroe became an

important shipping point for lumber, cotton, livestock, tobacco, and bricks (Jackson 2016). Both the

agricultural and timber industries continued to thrive through the early twentieth century, but was

curtailed with the dwindling supply of local timber and the Great Depression. In 1931, George W.

Strake discovered oil seven miles to the southeast of Conroe, which temporarily stimulated the local

economy. A revival of the lumber industry, the construction of Interstate Highway 45, and the

impounding of the West Fork of the San Jacinto River forming Lake Conroe all helped to promote

growth within the community. Today, the City of Conroe supports 63,322 residents (Jackson 2016).

According to a 1901 General Land Office Map of Montgomery County, Texas, the APE crosses land

originally patented by Hansom House and A. M. Folks (Figure 6). A 1938 USDA Map of the Sam

Houston National Forest depicts the APE as devoid of development with the exception of a pipeline

owned by the Prairie Pipe Line Company, which intersects FM 336 near its current intersection with

Stewarts Forest Drive (Figure 7). By 1953, two additional pipelines are visible transecting the APE and

FM 1314 is present at the project area’s easternmost end. However, the rest of the project area

remained forested and relatively free of development at this time (Figure 8). Urban development

began to encroach upon the project area by the late 1970s (Figure 9) with Loop 336 constructed prior

to 1989. The actual APE and its immediate surrounding, however, remain forested.

Archeological Site Potential

Historic aerial photographs and maps depict no residential or commercial development within the

APE at any time during the nineteenth to mid-twentieth century. Therefore, based on the information

provided above, there is low potential for historic-period archeological materials to be present within

the APE. However, the potential for prehistoric archeological sites is considered to be high. The

Potential Archeological Liability Mapping of the Houston District (PALM; Abbott 2001), classifies the

project area as Map Units 1, 2, and 4 (Figure 10). While no survey is recommended for those areas

located within Map Unit 4, survey is recommended for areas classified as Map Units 1 and 2. In

addition, the presence of sandy terraces overlooking natural waterways increases the potential for

intact prehistoric sites within the project area. Finally, the landscape has remained relatively

unchanged and lacks any major disturbances. Therefore, a survey for archeological sites is

recommended within the APE.

Summary and Recommendations

To summarize, historical maps and aerial photographs indicate that the potential for historic-period

archeological sites within the APE is low. On the other hand, topographic and soils maps, the presence

of natural waterways, a lack of disturbances, and the Houston PALM all suggest that there is a good

potential for intact prehistoric archeological remains to be present within the APE. This background

study recommends that an archeological survey is warranted for the APE. The survey should include

shovel testing and backhoe trenching at Stewarts Creek, where there is potential for deeply buried

archeological materials.
