2016 Map of Hungerford

About this map

Hungerford and Kendleton anchor this coastal prairie landscape where the San Bernard River snakes along the boundary between Wharton and Fort Bend Counties. The area is defined by a complex network of slow-moving waterways, including Bratcher Slough, Sandy Br, and the extensive wetlands of Blossom Prairie. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several significant burial sites, such as the Kendleton Cem and the Old Kendleton Cem, alongside the Powell Point Cem further north. This territory reflects a rural transition where traditional ranching and farming lands are bisected by modern transport corridors like the Hwy 59 Frontage Rd. The distribution of family-named roads, including Wicks Rd and Ervin Harris Rd, underscores the deep-rooted community ties found throughout the settlements of Powell Point and the surrounding sloughs.
