About this map

The Brazos River snakes through this landscape of suburban expansion and agricultural heritage at the turn of the decade. Residential developments like New Territory and Pecan Grove Plantation contrast with established locales such as Crabb and Booth. Historical footprints remain visible at Jones Cemetery and Sandberry Cemetery, while Thompson Chapel serves as a community landmark near Sartartia.

Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by Fort Bend WCID 1 Oyster Creek Dam 1 and the expansive Smithers Lake to the south. Aviation and commerce are anchored by Sugar Land Municipal/Hull Field in the northeast. The map documents the intricate network of bayous, including Bullhead Bayou and Rabbs Bayou, which define the drainage patterns of this Fort Bend County region as it transitions from its plantation roots toward a modern municipal center.
