About this map

The Trinity River bottomlands and the agrarian uplands of Navarro County define this landscape, where the small communities of Bazette and Montfort serve as local anchors. The terrain is a complex network of hydrological management, featuring numerous Soil Conservation Service reservoirs such as Soil Conservation Service Site 104 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 105 Reservoir, designed to control runoff into the many creeks feeding the river basin.

Genealogists and local historians can locate Wesley's Chapel Cem near the center of the quadrangle, a significant landmark for tracing family roots in this rural corridor. Further south, the map captures the outskirts of Powell and Kerens, including the residential development of Fair Acres. From the private Hancock Airport in the northeast to the waters of Wheelock Lake in the southwest, the map documents a transition between active ranching lands and the managed wetlands of the river valley.
