2010 Map of Dawson

About this map

Navarro Mills Lake dominates the northwest corner of this 2010 survey, held back by the Navarro Mills Dam. The landscape of western Navarro County is defined by a dense network of water management features, including over a dozen Soil Conservation Service reservoirs and dams that protect the drainage basins of Richland Creek and Battle Creek. The town of Dawson sits at the southern edge of the map, serving as a hub for local routes like FM 709 and FM 638. Smaller communities and rural landmarks such as Alliance Hall, Spring Hill, and Silver City are scattered throughout the region. Genealogists will find historical value in sites like Younger Cemetery and Spring Hill Cemetery, which reflect the early settlement patterns of this central Texas agricultural and ranching corridor.
