About this map

The San Bernard River winds through the borderlands of Fort Bend and Wharton Counties, defining a landscape of low-lying prairies and seasonal waterways. Near the river's crossing, Kendleton and Hungerford serve as the primary hubs, with the former area featuring several notable burial sites including Kendleton Cem and the Old Kendleton Cem. The surrounding terrain is marked by the expansive Blossom Prairie and a network of sloughs and creeks such as Blossom Slough, Bratcher Slough, and W Bernard Cr.

Historically, the area around Powell Point reflects an established rural community, supported by infrastructure like the Powell Point School Rd and Powell Point Cem. The map illustrates a transition from river-bottom wetlands to open prairie, where local landmarks like Davis Br and Sandy Br cut across the agricultural grid. This document provides a detailed layout of the region's transport network, from primary highways to the numerous county roads that link these inland settlements.
