2013 Map of Courtney

About this map

The Brazos River carves a sweeping path through this portion of Grimes County, defining the western landscape as it meanders toward the south. Near its banks, the settlement of Courtney remains a focal point, served by FM 2 RD and FM 1227 RD. The rural character of the area is underscored by numerous small communities and family-named landmarks, including Sommerford, Wood, and Lynn Grove. Genealogists and local historians can find several burial grounds such as Sand Prairie Cem, Evans Prairie Cem, and Bryant Cem, which provide clues to the region's heritage. The northern reaches are more developed, featuring the Navasota Municipal Airport and a network of county roads like Co RD 422 and Co RD 407 that connect the scattered farmsteads and rural homesites across Grassy Cr and Sandy Cr.
