2019 Map of Ferguson Crossing

About this map

The Navasota River meanders along the boundary of Brazos and Grimes counties, defining the southeastern edge of this landscape near College Station. This 2019 survey documents the suburban expansion of the region, where residential developments like those along Harpers Ferry Rd and Mesa Verde Dr meet the remaining rural bottomlands. The map preserves the location of Peach Creek Cem, a point of interest for genealogists tracking local families, situated near the headwaters of Peach Creek. Natural water features such as Tonkaway Lake, Brushy Lake, and the flow of Lick Cr characterize the area's drainage, while the historic name of Ferguson Crossing itself suggests an older point of transit across the river. Small water sources like Sulphur Spring and Lamb Spring are also noted, providing a look at the hydrography that likely supported earlier homesteads before the modern growth of the surrounding college town.
