1971 Map of Richmond

About this map

The Brazos River carves a winding path through the heart of Fort Bend County, defining the spatial relationship between the neighboring towns of Richmond and Rosenberg. This era shows significant urban expansion, particularly visible in the suburban developments around Sunset Park and the extensive industrial and residential growth south of the Southern Pacific tracks. The map is a critical resource for genealogists, documenting numerous small burial grounds such as Lightfoot Cem, McNabb Cem, and Jones Cem, alongside larger institutions like the Richmond State Sch.
