About this map

Emhouse sits as a central hub of this agricultural landscape in Navarro County, where the terrain is defined by the winding course of Chambers Creek and its many tributaries. The area's water management is evident in a series of engineered catchments, including Reservoir Number One Hundred Twentyone and its several sub-basins. To the north, the town of Rice and the small settlement of Onion Creek mark the edge of the prairie before crossing into Ellis County.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Pattison Cem located southwest of the main settlement, a key landmark for tracing early families in the region. The map also captures the local economic footprint through features like Coyote Field and a dense network of county roads. Natural drainage patterns are preserved in the labels for the Waxahachie Slough and various creeks like Briar Cr and Cummins Cr, which dictate the rural layout of this North Texas territory.
