2019 Map of Box Church

About this map

Box Church and Old Union anchor this rural landscape in Limestone County, where the topography is defined by the winding Navasota River and its various tributaries. The northern reaches of Lake Limestone dominate the eastern portion of the sheet, surrounded by a complex network of creeks including Turkey Cr, Dooley Cr, and Blains Cr. Family and community history are deeply embedded in the land here, evidenced by numerous burial grounds such as Potter Shop Cem, Hogan Cem, and Hughes and Hyden Cem that remain as geographic markers. The presence of Mitchell Energy facilities and Lenamon Lease Rd suggests the continued importance of the local energy sector, while water bodies like Jim Wright Lake and Jack Brown Lake indicate smaller-scale land management alongside the broader river basin system.
