2016 Map of Blooming Grove

About this map

Blooming Grove and the surrounding Navarro County countryside are defined by a sophisticated network of water management features and small, enduring settlements. This landscape is marked by numerous flood control structures, including the Soil Conservation Service Site 123 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 119A Reservoir, which manage the drainage of Rush Cr and Carroll Br. These engineered lakes sit alongside historic rural centers like Dresden and Raleigh, where Old Raleigh Cem provides a focal point for genealogical interest. The terrain is a web of local routes such as Lone Cedar Pike and Old Rankin Rd, connecting the larger hub of Barry to the creek bottoms of Pecan Cr and Post Oak Cr. The map captures the specialized agricultural and conservation character of the region during the mid-2010s.
