About this map

The Navasota River and the sprawling waters of Lake Limestone dominate this Limestone County landscape, reflecting the modern hydrological character of the region. The map preserves the locations of several historic rural communities, including Box Church, Old Union, and Lenamon, which are connected by a network of Farm to Market roads like FM 937. These small settlements serve as the anchors for a landscape dotted with family and community burial grounds, such as Hogan Cem, Cox Cem, and the uniquely named Potter Shop Cem.

Natural landmarks like Cedar Mound and Andrews Hill rise above the surrounding terrain, while numerous smaller water bodies such as Jim Wright Lake and Younkey Pen Lake fill the low-lying areas between Blains Cr and Montgomery Cr. The influence of the energy industry is noted through the presence of Mitchell Energy facilities and Lenamon Lease RD, indicating the intersection of traditional East Texas ranching land with contemporary resource extraction.
