About this map

The Navasota River and its accompanying Big Slough dominate this section of the Texas landscape, carving a complex network of wetlands and oxbow lakes across the borders of Leon, Robertson, Brazos, and Madison counties. Historically significant routes like the OSR Hwy and Old San Antonio Rd trace the northern portion of the quadrangle, following paths that have connected Texas settlements for centuries. The land is defined by its water, with numerous named bodies such as San Antonio Lake, Donahoe Lake, and Stillwagon Lake punctuating the low-lying terrain near Long Hollow.

Family history is preserved in a series of rural burial grounds scattered across the map, including Burns Cem, Plainview Cem, Keefer Cem, and Nash Cem. These sites, along with family-named roads like Hatten Bach Dr and Mittelstedt Rd, indicate a deeply rooted agricultural and residential community. The map also records localized industry, noted by the Pz-717 mine designation near the Robertson County line.
