About this map

Corsicana and the surrounding agricultural lands of Navarro County define this landscape, where the transition from rural crossroads to industrial activity is evident. The area is marked by a complex system of water management, featuring numerous numbered reservoirs such as Soil Conservation Service Site 7a Reservoir and Reservoir Number One Hundred Twentynine, which reflect 20th-century soil and water conservation efforts along tributaries like Chambers Creek and Hackberry Creek. Small communities like Tupelo, Roane, and Rice serve as local anchors for the surrounding farms.

Energy extraction remains a significant land use, as shown by the Dudley Oil Field and Robinson Oil Field. For those researching local heritage, the map provides a dense record of burial sites, including the Old Chatfield Cemetery, New Chatfield Cemetery, and Providence Cemetery. These sites, along with the Zion Rest Cemetery near the southern edge of the sheet, offer precise locations for genealogists and historians tracing the family lines that settled this region.
