About this map

Camp Creek Lake dominates the central landscape of this Robertson County survey, reflecting the mid-century water management along the Navasota River bottomlands. The area around the settlement of Easterly shows a transition from rail-dependent commerce to a more dispersed rural layout. Family history is etched into the terrain through several scattered burial grounds, including the Easterly Cem, James Cem, and the Hoxie Chapel Cem, which sits near the Missouri Pacific railroad line.

The eastern portion of the map is defined by a dense network of water bodies and marshy lowlands such as Black Bog and Wyach Lake. These features, along with names like Devils Jump Creek and Malochomy Lake, provide a detailed look at the hydrology of the Texas Brazos Valley before modern development altered these traditional drainage patterns. Small rural landmarks like Elm Grove Ch and various gravel pits point to the community and industrial focal points of the era.
