USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
State Prison Farm lands dominate much of this landscape, reflecting a unique pattern of institutional land use south of Sugar Land. The Brazos River snakes through the center of the sheet, creating prominent oxbows such as Old River Lake and Horseshoe Lake. The region's transport and industrial roots are visible in the corridors of the Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads, which served early agricultural communities like Harlem and Crabb.
