The town of Beasley and the community of Kendleton anchor this 2010 survey of southwestern Fort Bend County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the San Bernard River and its numerous tributaries. Agriculture and aviation share the terrain, evidenced by the presence of both the Aviasud Airpark and the Purdy-Nielsen Memorial Airpark situated among sprawling fields. The map provides essential data for genealogists, documenting local resting places such as Friedens Cemetery and Modena Cemetery. The drainage network is particularly dense here, with Snake Creek, Turkey Creek, and Cottonwood Creek carving through the coastal prairie. Transport corridors like State Loop 540 and Old US Hwy 59 parallel the rail lines, tracing the historical development patterns of these Texas settlements.
