2010 Map of Missouri City

About this map

The Brazos River meanders through the southern reaches of this landscape, defining a network of sloughs and creeks that separate established settlements from growing residential districts. Sugar Land and Missouri City anchor the northern half of the region, where the historical alignment of U.S. Hwy 90 Alt and S Main St connects smaller communities like Paynes and Fifth Street. The map reveals a transition from suburban development to open river bottomlands, marked by the presence of Trammels and the legacy of agricultural land use near Snake Slough. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including the Cementerio San Isidro and the Dewalt Cemetery, located near the namesake community of Dewalt. Hydrological control is a central theme here, evidenced by the Fort Bend WCID 1 Oyster Creek Dam 3 and the System Canal near Black Lake.
