2016 Map of Pearland

About this map

Pearland and its neighboring communities in Brookside Village and Mykawa characterize this 2016 coastal prairie landscape south of Houston. The map documents the dense residential expansion in the northern sections, notably within the curiously named Skyscraper Shadows development. This suburban growth is contrasted by the persistent presence of agricultural and drainage infrastructure, such as the Hickory Slough and Mustang Bayou watersheds that define the low-lying terrain. The region's transport and aviation history is preserved through the Bnsf Railway corridor and local landing strips like Skyway Manor Airport and Houston Airpark. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet identifies significant burial sites including the Old Pearland Cem, Pearland Cem, and Dagg Cem, providing a clear record of the community's established footprint as it stretches south toward Manvel and Alvin.
