1959 Map of Clear Lake

About this map

The Navasota River meanders south through this Central Texas landscape, serving as the primary geographic border between Brazos, Madison, and Grimes counties. The river valley is a complex network of seasonal water features including Caney Slough, Brushy Lake, and Holl Lake, while Three Bridges and Democrat Crossing mark historic transit points across the shifting waterway. These crossing names and the presence of the Gaging Sta underscore the river's central role in local movement and water management during this era.
