About this map

The master-planned resort character of Hilltop Lakes defines the northern reaches of this mid-1960s survey, showing a landscape transitioning from traditional Texas ranching toward recreation. Centered on a series of man-made water bodies including Mirror Lake, Kickapoo Lake, and Cherokee Lake, the development features a Golf Course and the Hilltop Landing Strip, signaling a specific era of private aviation-based communities.

Further south, the map documents established rural life along the borders of Leon, Madison, and Robertson counties. The community of Wealthy and the northern outskirts of Normangee provide a grounded contrast to the newer resort infrastructure. Genealogists and local historians can trace family locations through Greer Cem and the Normangee Cem, while the natural drainage of the Navasota River and Pigeon Roost Creek marks the original wooded terrain of the region.
