About this map

The Navasota River meanders through the central corridor of this Leon County landscape, defining a terrain of numerous sloughs and lakes. The settlement of Marquez sits in the northeast corner at the intersection of Barkley Rd and S Old Flynn Rd, while smaller communities like Ridge and Venetia are situated to the south. This area is characterized by its agricultural and ranching layout, indicated by landmarks such as Camp Cooley Ranch Rd and numerous family or local burial sites including Winn Cem and Bateman Cem.

Hydrological features are dense along the river basin, where names like Bear Rough Lake, Wolf Lake, and Artesian Lake point to a complex network of seasonal and permanent water bodies. The topography rises toward Payne Hill, offering a view of the surrounding drainage basins of Red Oak Cr and Brushy Cr. This map preserves the rural road network, from established routes like FM-977 to quiet connectors like Lone Oak Rd.
