2019 Map of Sugar Land

About this map

The Brazos River carves a winding path through this portion of Fort Bend County, defining a landscape where suburban expansion meets historic Texas settlements. The corridor between Richmond and Rosenberg shows significant modern development, yet older rural landmarks persist in the surrounding acreage. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved amidst the shifting land use, including New Home Cem near the Pumpkin Lakes and Sandberry Cem located just north of the Crabb community. To the south and east, the terrain opens into a complex network of waterways including Smithers Lake, House Bayou, and Gapps Slough. This modern survey documents the density of communities like Greatwood and Pecan Grove as they wrap around the river’s oxbows, while smaller locales such as Booth and Thompsons maintain their positions along the southern rail and road routes.
