2010 Map of Irene

About this map

Navarro Mills Lake dominates the eastern landscape of this Hill and Navarro County border region, where the prairie transitions into a network of creek drainages. The small settlements of Irene, Pelham, Emmett, and Brushie Prairie are connected by a web of rural routes like FM 1946 and numerous county roads. This area is deeply tied to its agricultural roots, evidenced by the scattered distribution of family and community burial grounds including Salem Cemetery, Graham Cemetery, and Antioch Cemetery. The hydrological profile is defined by winding watercourses such as Richland Creek, White Rock Creek, and Ash Creek, which feed into the primary reservoir. Land management efforts are visible through the Soil Conservation Service Site 89 Reservoir and associated dams, which regulate the flow of Little Cottonwood Creek and Cottonwood Creek in the southwestern quadrant.
