East Sandy Creek
East Sandy Creek, a perennial stream, rises two miles north of New
Waverly in southern Walker County (at 30°35' N, 95°29' W) and flows west
for eleven miles to its mouth on Lake Conroe, near the Montgomery
county line (at 30°33' N, 95°37' W). The stream lies within the boundary
of the Sam Houston National Forest.
It traverses gently rolling to sloping terrain surfaced by sandy and
loamy soils that support woods of loblolly pine, shortleaf pine,
sweetgum, water oak, elm, pecan, post oak, black hickory, willow oak,
and blackgum along its banks. Settlement in the vicinity began in the
early 1830s. The Moore's Grove and East Sandy communities were both
established on the south bank of the middle creek during the 1850s. TSHA
