2016 Map of Richmond

About this map

The Brazos River meanders through this portion of Fort Bend County, defining the landscape between the established centers of Richmond and the neighboring residential growth of Pecan Grove. This 2016 survey documents the modern suburban footprint alongside numerous small, family and community burial grounds that reflect the area's deep roots. Genealogists will find a high density of sites including Morton Cem, Lightfoot Cem, and the West Gethsemane Cem. The map tracks the convergence of major infrastructure, such as the Hwy 59 Frontage Rd, with older water systems like Rabbs Bayou and the Assoc Canal. Smaller settlements like McHattie and Pleak appear amidst a transition from municipal grids to the open reaches around Lane Airpark, providing a clear view of how development has integrated with the local creek systems like Seabourne Cr and Coon Cr.
