2016 Map of Echols

About this map

The Navasota River and its multiple tributaries define the geography of this Limestone County landscape, where the small community of Coolidge sits at the northern edge. The area is characterized by dispersed rural settlements and several significant family and community burial grounds, including the Coolidge Cem, Armour Cem, and New Armour Cem. This part of Texas remains predominantly agricultural, with the drainage basins of Mustang Cr and Pin Oak Cr carving subtle relief across the terrain. Farther south, the community of Frosa and the namesake Echols represent the quiet rural nodes that have long served local ranching and farming families. The map illustrates a dense network of county roads and ranch roads that have connected these small clusters since the early twentieth century, providing a clear view of the land division and transport patterns before modern development altered the rural character of the region.
