Sheldon

The landscape around Sheldon is low, level Gulf Coastal Plain terrain of prairie and wetlands, which has shaped both its dispersed development and its long agricultural land use. In Harris County, east of Houston, the community lies near Sheldon Lake, a reservoir and wetland habitat protected by Sheldon Lake State Park and Environmental Learning Center. The park is used for fishing, paddling and environmental education, while the John Jacob Observation Tower rises above the otherwise flat surroundings. Though part of the wider Houston metropolitan area, Sheldon retains an open lake-and-prairie character. See how Sheldon connects with eastern Harris County by browsing webcams nearby.
