About this map

The Navasota River meanders along the boundary of Robertson and Leon Counties, shaping a landscape defined by seasonal floodplains and tributary branches. Central to this mid-1960s environment is the newly formed Camp Creek Lake, whose irregular shoreline is punctuated by controlled inundation areas and engineered spillways. To the northwest, the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor anchors the small settlement of Easterly, where local history is preserved at the Easterly Cem.

Away from the rail line, the rural character of the region is traced through a network of country churches and family burial grounds, including Hoxie Chapel and its associated Hoxie Chapel Cem. The map captures a moment of transition as traditional ranching and farming lands, marked by intricate fence lines, intersect with water management projects like Kury Lake and the various oxbow features such as Mitchell Lake and Sulphur Lake.
