1963 Map of Jones Creek

About this map

Jones Creek and the surrounding marshlands of Brazoria County are defined by the complex water systems near the Gulf of Mexico. The area is bounded by the Brazos River to the east and the winding San Bernard River to the west, with the Old Intracoastal Waterway cutting through the southern wetlands. The settlement pattern shows a concentration of local institutions such as St Joseph Ch, Gulf Prairie Ch, and the Austin Sch, alongside several Oil Wells that indicate the industrial character of the mid-century Texas coast. The map also records significant landmarks like Bryan Mound and Perry Landing, providing a detailed look at the rural and extractive infrastructure before further modern coastal development altered the local landscape.
