2019 Map of Richmond

About this map

The Brazos River snakes through the heart of Fort Bend County, anchoring the closely linked communities of Richmond and Rosenberg. This survey captures the suburban expansion around these historic centers, showing the transition from traditional riverbank settlements like Cumings and McHattie to modern residential developments. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the landscape, from the large Morton Cem in the city center to smaller family and organization-linked plots like Lightfoot Cem, McNabb Cem, and the Woodmen of the World Cem. The mapping of local waterways, including Seabourne Cr, Coon Cr, and the Assoc Canal, illustrates the complex irrigation and drainage network that has historically supported the region's agriculture and ongoing development toward the village of Pleak to the south.
