2022 Map of Jones Creek

About this map

The low-lying coastal plains of Brazoria County are defined here by the confluence of the Brazos River and the San Bernard River as they approach the Gulf. The settlement of Jones Creek and the adjacent Perry Landing occupy the higher ground between these waterways, a landscape crisscrossed by historical road traces like Stephen F Austin Rd and Durazno Plantation Rd. The map reveals a high concentration of burial sites that reflect the area's deep family roots, including Gulf Prairie Cem - East, the Oakland Community Cem, and the Eastern Branch Family Cem. Extensive wetlands and bayous dominate the southern half of the quadrangle, where the Intracoastal Waterway and Old Intracoastal Waterway cut through a maze of lakes such as Pelican Lake and McNeal Lake. Industrial activity is centered at the Dow Operations Plant B, situated near the bends of the river system.
