2010 Map of Canary

About this map

The Navasota River meanders through this portion of Madison County, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and oxbow lakes. Numerous water bodies such as San Antonio Lake, Mud Lake, and Wilson Lake flank the river's course, while the prominent Caney Island sits within the riparian corridor. This 2010 survey shows the rural character of the area, anchored by the settlement of Canary and the historic junction at Bundy Crossing. Family history is well-preserved through several burial sites scattered across the landscape, including Burns Cemetery, Plainview Cemetery, and Nash Cemetery. Transportation is defined by a grid of rural routes and the diagonal track of the OSR Hwy, providing access to the various dams and creek crossings that manage the local hydrology. The map illustrates a quiet agricultural region where names like Wager Lake and Stillwagon Lake point to local land use and development.
