2013 Map of Dawson

About this map

The town of Dawson serves as the focal point for this section of Navarro County, exhibiting a grid of streets such as N Fullerton and N Gilmer Ave that contrast with the winding rural routes nearby. Water management is a defining characteristic of the landscape, seen in the large expanse of Navarro Mills Lake and a series of smaller reservoirs, including Soil Conservation Service Site 112 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 113 Reservoir, which regulate the flow of Richland Cr and its tributaries. For researchers, the map identifies small communities like Spring Hill, Silver City, and Alliance Hall, along with the Knapp Pecan Orchard Airpark. Several local landmarks are preserved in the documentation, including Spring Hill Cem and Younger Cem, reflecting the area's agricultural and genealogical roots in the early 21st century.
