2019 Map of Brenham

About this map

Brenham serves as the focal point of this Washington County landscape, where the town's street grid meets the winding tributaries of the Brazos River watershed. The area is notable for its high density of burial grounds, providing a significant resource for genealogical research. Sites such as Yellow Fever Cem, Camptown Cem, and Willow Grove Cem are preserved alongside larger facilities like Prairie Lea Cem. Outside the central hub, the terrain is defined by its creek systems, including New Year Cr, Big Sandy Cr, and Sandy Cr, which historically influenced the development of surrounding communities like Berlin, Zionville, and Prairie Hill. Aviation interest is represented by the Brenham Municipal Airport to the northeast and the private Live Oak Ranch Airport further west. The map also traces various country roads and lanes, such as Hoddeville School Rd and Wauls Legion Rd, which connect rural homesteads to the municipal center.
