About this map

The Brazos River and San Bernard River converge toward the Gulf of Mexico in this coastal Texas landscape, defining a region where industrial infrastructure and historical settlements meet the wetlands. The community of Jones Creek serves as a central hub, connected by roads such as Stephen F Austin Rd and Durazno Plantation Rd, names that reflect the deep-rooted land grants and agricultural history of Brazoria County. Near the coast, the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through a landscape of lagoons and marshes, including McNeal Lake and Pelican Lake.

Evidence of the area's transition into an industrial powerhouse is visible near Gulf Park and the Dow Operations Plant Rd, while the older character of the region is preserved at Velasco Cemetery and the settlement of Perry Landing. The map provides a detailed look at the levee systems and flood control measures surrounding Bryan Mound, illustrating the complex management of this low-lying river delta environment.
