About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Once a small low barrier island in southernmost Texas that played an important role in the Civil War, Brazos Island does not appear on modern maps. However, during the Civil War, Union troops, primarily U.S. Colored Troops, used Brazos as their landing and staging point for postings in the interior. USCT's fought, died, and were buried there but the location of their interment and final resting place has never been honored. A major storm in 1867 destroyed most of the depots' structures. The Brazos depot was never rebuilt and its remains eventually disappeared under coastal dunes. The land that formed Brazos Island is still there, but it is now a narrow peninsula connected to the mainland. Atlas Number 5061011777. https://atlas.thc.state.tx.us/Details/5061011777/print
