2022 Map of Bonus

About this map

The Colorado River meanders along the western edge of this landscape, defining the border between Colorado Co and Wharton Co. The terrain is characterized by the low-lying drainage patterns of Robb Slough and various smaller tributaries like Peach Creek and Clarks Branch. The settlement pattern centers on the agricultural communities of Bonus, Matthews, and Elm Grove, which are linked by a dense network of farm-to-market roads and county routes. Historically significant family and community landmarks are scattered throughout the quadrangle, including the Union Hill Cemetery, Frazar Cemetery, and Sandridge Cemetery. The map also captures the distinct rural junction at Boedecker Junction, showing the intersection of local routes that supported the region's transport and farming economy. Water management is evident in the presence of local features like Rockin Ranch Lake, reflecting the intersection of natural hydrology and land use in this coastal plain environment.
