About this map

Brazoria and the adjacent Old Brazoria sit at a sharp bend in the Brazos River, where the river's meandering course defines the geography of southeast Texas. This landscape is a complex network of waterways, featuring the San Bernard River and the large Brazoria Reservoir, which is fed by Buffalo Camp Bayou. The abundance of water is reflected in named features like McFadden Bayou, Dry Bayou, and the Cocklebur Slough.

Genealogists and local historians will find a concentrated area of burial grounds including Old Brazoria Cem, Pioneer Cem, and Brazoria Cem. The distinction between the contemporary settlement and the historical core is clearly marked, while the proximity to Lake Jackson shows the region's continued development. Industrial and agricultural land use is evident through features like York Reservoir and Clemens Reservoir Number 2, situated amidst the rural road networks like Mitchell Rd and Co RD 355.
