2012 Map of Corbet

About this map

The community of Black Hills and the expansive Odd Fellows and Rebekah Home for Children anchor the northern landscape of this Navarro County region. This 2012 survey documents a rural environment heavily defined by federal water management, featuring a dense network of reservoirs including Soil Conservation Service Site 137g Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 1350 Reservoir designed to control drainage into Briar Creek and Rush Creek. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Cunningham Cemetery and Marshall Cemetery, which are scattered among the settlements of Drane, Corbet, and Oak Valley. The presence of the Anxiety Aerodrome and Resthaven Memorial Park further illustrates the modern infrastructure layered over this traditional agricultural and ranching landscape.
