1959 Map of Ferguson Crossing

About this map

The Navasota River meanders along the boundary of Brazos and Grimes counties, anchoring a landscape defined by its riparian woodlands and winding tributaries like Wickson Creek and Panther Creek. Originally surveyed in the late 1950s and updated with 1980 photorevisions, the map documents the transition of this rural Brazos Valley terrain. The eponymous Ferguson Crossing sits at a strategic point on the river, while the surrounding area is dotted with oxbow lakes and local landmarks such as Tonkaway Lake and Brushy Lake.
