About this map

The Brazos River forms a serpentine natural boundary between Grimes Co and Washington County, shaping the lowlands of this central Texas landscape. In the north, the outskirts of Navasota are marked by the Navasota Municipal Airport and a growing network of roads like FM 379, while the smaller settlement of Courtney remains centered further south. The map documents a predominantly rural and agricultural character, with multiple family-named burial grounds such as Sommerford Cem and Evans Prairie Cem scattered among the tributary creeks.

Water features define much of the interior, including the marshy edges of Weaver Lake and Los Robles Lake. A complex system of farm roads and turn rows, including TDC Farm Turn Row Rd, suggests an active agricultural economy adjacent to the river’s floodplain. Significant drainage features like Red Gully and Grassy Cr cut through the terrain, illustrating the hydrological patterns of the Brazos valley.
