About this map

Brazos River meanders across this landscape west of College Station, defining a complex network of waterways including Thompsons Creek, Middle Bayou, and Long Branch. This 2010 survey reveals a rural character dominated by agricultural fields and riparian corridors, where the river's historical path is evidenced by features like Old River and Boxley Bend. The settlement of Chances Store sits in the southeastern portion, serving as a local landmark in a region defined by its bayous and creek crossings.

Genealogists and local historians can find several specific sites of interest, from the Newsome Cemetery near Brushy Creek to the small community at Grant. Infrastructure is marked by crossings such as London Bridge and Jones Bridge, along with water management features including the Linda Lake Dam and Giesensclag Lake Dam. The map provides a clear view of the road network, including FM 50 and Raymond Stotzer Pkwy, connecting these dispersed rural locales.
