About this map

The Navasota River meanders along the boundary of Brazos Co and Grimes Co, serving as the primary natural artery for this landscape of bottomlands and oxbow lakes. On the western bank, the expanding residential outskirts of College Station reach toward the river, characterized by newer subdivisions like those near Anasazi Bluff Dr and Mission Hills Dr. This growth contrasts with the more rural character of Ferguson Crossing to the north and the quiet grounds of the Peach Creek Cem further south.

Hydrological features dominate the terrain, from the sprawling wetlands surrounding Tonkaway Lake and Brushy Lake to the various springs like Sulphur Spring and Lamb Spring. The map documents a complex drainage system where Carters Cr, Alum Cr, and Lick Cr converge toward the river valley, illustrating the transition from collegiate urban development to the alluvial plains of eastern Brazos County.
