About this map

Kendleton and Hungerford serve as the primary hubs in this part of Fort Bend County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the San Bernard River. The area maintains a rural, agricultural character punctuated by industrial activity at the Hungerford Oil Field. Local history is deeply embedded in the land, visible through several burial sites including the Old Kendleton Cem and Powell Point Cem, which mark the generational roots of these communities.

The hydrology of the region is complex, with numerous tributaries such as W Bernard Cr, Sandy Br, and Brooks Br threading through the countryside. These waterways are joined by low-lying features like Blossom Slough and Bratcher Slough, indicating a terrain prone to drainage patterns common in the Texas coastal plain. To the southeast, the open reaches of Blossom Prairie represent the traditional prairie landscape that existed before modern development.
