Italy and Avalon anchor this 2019 survey of the central Texas blacklands, a region characterized by a complex network of creeks and legacy family landholdings. The map reveals the deep-rooted community history of Ellis and Navarro counties, tracing the path of Chambers Creek as it winds through the agricultural landscape. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of small burial grounds, including Forreston Cem, Hughes Cem, Dean Cem, and Maloney Cem, often situated near early roads like Hughes Cemetary Rd and Odom Rd.
