2013 Map of Echols

About this map

The Navasota River meanders southeastward through this portion of Limestone County, defining a landscape of creek-fed bottomlands and rural crossroads. Small rural settlements like Echols and Sandy sit on the eastern side of the river, while Mustang and Frosa anchor the western reaches. This area is characterized by a dense network of county and ranch roads, such as Ranch Road 936 and Farm-to-Market Road 1245 E, which connect disparate homesteads and agricultural fields. For those researching local history or genealogy, several burial sites are clearly marked, including Coolidge Cem, Hill Cem, and both the Armour Cem and New Armour Cem. The southeastern corner of the map features the upper waters of Lake Mexia, where Christmas Cr enters the reservoir.
