2013 Map of Sweeny

About this map

Sweeny serves as the central hub of this Brazoria County landscape, where the street grid of the town site contrasts with the industrial and agricultural patterns of the Texas coastal plain. To the northwest, the Old Ocean Oil Field and the adjacent settlement of Old Ocean mark the area's long-standing connection to the petroleum industry, evidenced by the nearby San Bernard Reservoir Number 2. The San Bernard River winds through the eastern half of the map, separating the main town from smaller communities like Wild Peach Village and the rural crossroads at El Bernardo. Low-lying water features such as Markle Lake, Flea Pond, and Cocklebur Slough illustrate the natural drainage of the region, while a dense network of county roads like Co RD 780 and Co RD 440 connects isolated farmsteads and residential clusters such as Four Corners in the south.
