2016 Map of Almeda
USGS Topo · Published 2016About this map
Sims Bayou and Mustang Bayou define the drainage of this suburbanizing landscape at the intersection of Harris, Brazoria, and Fort Bend counties. Historically distinct communities like Almeda and Fresno appear alongside growing residential corridors and the critical transportation hubs of Houston- Southwest Airport and the smaller Flyin' B Airport. The map documents a period of significant growth where the established rail landscape of Arcola Junction and the older Arcola- Fresno Cem meet the expanding reach of the Sam Houston Pkwy. For family historians, landmarks such as Beth Jacob Cem and the settlement of Winchester provide essential reference points for tracing the evolution of these south Houston communities before they were further absorbed by modern development.
