About this map

Pearland and its surrounding communities in both Harris and Brazoria counties appear here during a period of significant suburban expansion in the mid-1990s. The landscape is a mix of established residential grids and remaining open space, defined by a complex drainage network including Clear Creek, Hickory Slough, and Marys Creek. Transport infrastructure is prominent, featuring the Houston Belt and Terminal RR and specialized aviation sites like Skyway Manor Airport and the Pearland Heliport.

Genealogists and local researchers will find several significant burial grounds documented, such as South Park Cemetery, Resurrection Cemetery, and the Old Pearland Cem. To the north, the settlement of Minnetex and the incorporated Brookside Village show the era's residential density. The presence of the American Canal and various oil fields suggests the ongoing importance of water management and resource extraction even as the area transitioned toward modern retail hubs like the Sherwood Village Shopping Center.
