About this map

Dawson serves as the primary hub in this Navarro County landscape, situated at the intersection of several farm-to-market roads and local routes. The town’s history is anchored by the Dawson Cem and the nearby Battle Creek Burial Ground, reflecting long-standing community roots. To the north, Navarro Mills Lake dominates the terrain, with the small settlements of Navarro Mills and Silver City positioned along its eastern and northern reaches.

The rural character of the area is further defined by a complex network of water management features, including several Soil Conservation Service reservoirs like Site 112 Reservoir and Site 114 Reservoir. These structures, along with natural drainages such as Richland Cr and Post Oak Cr, illustrate the transition of the land for agricultural and flood control purposes. Unique landmarks like the Knapp Pecan Orchard Airpark and numerous family cemeteries including Younger Cem and Spring Hill Cem provide specific points of interest for local researchers and genealogists.
