Visit The Woodlands' 2025 Map of The Woodlands. The texture and coloring are like a watercolor painting, with a soft cream for business centers, blended greens for parks and nature centers, and blended blues for Lake Woodlands and The Waterway. Important businesses and/or attractions stand out with realistic black-and-white sketches of the primary buildings. Highlights include: Hughes Landing (with the Lakes Edge Boat House and Northshore Park), Market Street, The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, Town Green Park, Riva Row Boat House, Waterway Square, The Woodlands Mall, Pinecroft Center, George Mitchell Nature Preserve, and Texas TreeVentures. Other key attractions (with no set location) are also marked drawn attention to with sketches, including: a mounted patrolperson, shopping bags, tacos (restaurants), a stag (wildlife), a female jogger, a female kayaker, a man walking a dog, waterfowl, a golf cart, etc. Hotels are marked with light orange icons featuring a single bed. Parking is identified with a bright orange icon with the letter "P." On the left of the map, there is an orange outline of Texas and the "The Woodlands Texas" written across it in the Visit The Woodlands font. Below that is a compass with the VTW "W" logo inside it.
