2019 Map of Juliff

About this map

Sandy Point and the nearby Sandy Point Cem anchor the southwestern portion of this coastal prairie landscape, where the boundary between Fort Bend Co and Brazoria Co shifts through agricultural lands. The territory is defined by complex drainage systems, including the meandering path of Oyster Creek and the headwaters of the W Fork Chocolate Bayou. Smaller communities like Juliff and Hawdon are situated between these watercourses, while the expanding footprints of Pearland and Iowa Colony reflect the transition from rural acreage to suburban development. Local history is preserved in sites such as Woods Cem and the Iowa Colony Cem, situated north of the N Canal. Several lakes, including Thompson Lake and Mowery Lake, punctuate the flat terrain, serving as vital landmarks in a region historically shaped by its proximity to the Texas Gulf Coast.
