About this map

Chambers Creek and its many tributaries, including Tupelo Br and Post Oak Br, define the low-lying agricultural landscape of northeastern Navarro County. This area, recorded in 2022, is anchored by the small communities of Rice, Chatfield, and Roane, while the northern outskirts of Corsicana appear in the southwest corner. The map is particularly dense with sites for genealogical research, featuring numerous burial grounds such as Old Chatfield Cem, New Chatfield Cem, and the Rice Black Cem.

Water management is a central theme of the terrain, visible through a network of engineered basins like Elliott Reservoir and several numbered reservoirs. Small aviation fields, including The Homestead Airport and Hackberry Airport, are scattered among the farms. The presence of Waxahachie Slough and wetlands along the creek bottoms suggests the seasonally variable nature of this Texas blackland prairie drainage system.
