2010 Map of Thompsons

About this map

The Brazos River meanders through this portion of Fort Bend County, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and industrial sites in the early 21st century. The settlement of Thompsons sits near the northern boundary, while the legacy of the region's petroleum industry is represented by the Thompsons Oil Field and the nearby Humble Camp. The terrain is marked by an intricate network of waterways, including the winding Oyster Creek, Rabbs Bayou, and Cow Bayou, alongside several significant bodies of water such as Sawmill Lake and Cow Lake. In the southern reaches, large-scale water management is evident at Reservoir Number 8 and Turner Lake. Significant local landmarks like the Booker T Washington School and the developing residential area of Sienna Plantation illustrate the evolving social and educational footprint of the community. This topographic study also identifies natural features like Steep Gully and the low Ridge that break the otherwise level coastal plain.
