You are probably right about it being part of the original LH7. My family is somehow related to the Marks and I can remember going to the Houston LH7 growing up. I remember the barns and all the longhorns especially. Maudeen Marks still owns what is left of the Houston ranch and expanded to include a ranch in Bandera. My guess is that these are the remains of what was once a retention pond and feed pens. I think it is too small for what I remember the pictures showing of the rodeo grounds as being. Obviously with the creation of the Addicks Reservoir the land would be more suseptible to flooding and having the marsh vegitation (cattails) in the pics.
