2022 Map of Irene

About this map

Irene sits at the northwestern edge of this Hill County landscape, where the agricultural plains transition into the drainage basins of Richland Cr and White Rock Cr. The terrain is defined by a dense network of country roads and numerous small family and community burial grounds, such as the Salem - Irene Cem and the Graham - Mason Cem, which highlight the deeply rooted settlement patterns of the region. The southeastern portion of the map is dominated by the waters of Navarro Mills Lake, a significant geographical feature where the Hill Co and Navarro Co line intersects the reservoir. Small rural centers like Pelham and Emmett are connected by routes such as FM 744, serving as focal points for the surrounding farmsteads. The mapping of Soil Conservation Service Site 89 Reservoir and various branches like Treadwell Br underscores the importance of water management in this rural Texas environment.
