About this map

The San Bernard River forms a dense, wooded boundary along the western edge of this landscape, separating Fort Bend Co from Wharton Co. This rural corridor is defined by its watercourses and prairie lands, where Blossom Prairie and the low-lying Blossom Slough meet the agricultural fields. The settlement of Beasley serves as a local hub near the northeastern corner, characterized by its residential street grid including Avenue E and S 8th St.

Tracing the drainage patterns of Snake Cr and Turkey Cr reveals the region's historic reliance on these waterways for irrigation and livestock. For family historians, several burial grounds are preserved here, including the Modena Cem and Saint Wenceslaus Catholic Cem. The presence of Peach Break and Cypress Slough in the south illustrates the original riparian environment that existed before the expansion of local road networks like Ricefield Rd and FM 360.
