About this map

The San Bernard River meanders across this landscape, defining the boundary between Wharton and Fort Bend counties. This coastal prairie region is shaped by intricate water systems, including the wetland depressions of Cypress Slough, Turkey Slough, and the distinct oxbow of Horseshoe Slough. These natural features surround higher ground such as Elm Ridge, reflecting the traditional drainage patterns of the Texas Gulf Coast.

Settlement is concentrated in the southern corridor where Iago, Boling, and Newgulf sit along the rail and road network. Evidence of local heritage and family lineages is found in the distribution of community sites like the Mount Pilgrim Baptist Church Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Routt Point Cem. The map also highlights industrial and transportation infrastructure, from the E Railroad Ave in Boling to the New Gulf Airport near the eastern bend of the river.
