About this map

The San Bernard River forms the winding western boundary of this landscape, carving through a region defined by its creek systems and rural transport corridors. The settlement of Beasley occupies the northeast, characterized by its traditional grid of numbered streets and avenues, while Kendleton is situated to the southwest along the SW Fwy. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape of productive land bisected by many drainage features, including Turkey Creek, Snake Creek, and Cottonwood Creek.

Local heritage is anchored by sites like Friedens Cemetery and Modena Cemetery, which serve as quiet markers of the community's genealogy. The presence of the Houston Fort Bend Airport near the northern edge of the map indicates the modern infrastructural layer laid over this historic agricultural area. From the banks of Brooks Branch to the crossing of Boone Branch, the map documents the intersection of natural waterways and modern road networks like Hwy 59.
