About this map

The Brazos River meanders across this Brazos County landscape, defining the agricultural character of the region during the first decade of the 21st century. The alluvial plains are dotted with small settlements like Mumford, Mooring, and Sims, many connected by FM 50. The map reveals a land structured by its hydrology and history, from the wide expanses of Teal Prairie to the intricate drainage of Mooring Slough and Red Slough.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks such as the Mumford Cemetery and Canaan Cemetery, alongside remnants of earlier communities like Stone City and Mudville. The presence of Varisco Airport near Varisco indicates the modern infrastructure serving these rural areas. This map provides a clear picture of the transition between open prairie and the fertile river bottomlands, where names like Damn Branch and Campbells Creek mark the smaller waterways that feed the Brazos.
