1943 Map of Jones Creek

About this map

Brazos River delta lands and the low-lying coastal marshes of Brazoria County define this mid-century landscape. The area is marked by established community centers like Perry Landing and Jones Creek, which are surrounded by essential local institutions including St Joseph Ch, Peach Point Ch, and the Oakland Sch. To the northwest, the large tract of the Clemens State Farm occupies a significant portion of the inland territory. Near the coast, the burgeoning industrial and maritime presence is evident in the proximity of Freeport and Velasco, where the Velasco Cem and Bell Cem serve as quiet records of early settlement. The southern half of the map is dominated by a complex network of bayous and lakes, including McNeal Lake, Pelican Lake, and Red Fish Bayou, all positioned north of the Intracoastal Waterway and the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
