About this map

Marquez anchors the northeastern corner of this East Texas survey, where the regional road network converges at V W Goodwin Blvd. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Navasota River, which serves as the boundary between Leon and Robertson counties. This riparian corridor is surrounded by a dense network of wetlands and named water bodies including Artesian Lake, Bear Rough Lake, and Grassy Lake, illustrating the river's significant influence on the local terrain.

Genealogists will find substantial value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds throughout the countryside, such as Winn Cem, Bateman Cem, and Holly Cem. Small rural settlements like Ridge are connected by a system of country roads like Lake Branch Rd and Holly Cemetery Rd, which bypass prominent elevations like Payne Hill. This map provides a detailed view of the rural homesteads and agricultural spaces that characterize the region between the river bottom and the upland woods.
