Moore's Grove and East Sandy
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.
