1914 Map of Navasota

About this map

Navasota serves as the central hub of this survey, where the convergence of the Houston and Texas Central RR and the International and Great Northern RR created a vital interior rail junction. The map illustrates a landscape defined by the winding Brazos River and Navasota River, with numerous family-named farms and industrial sites such as Wilsons Gin dotting the fertile bottomlands. Along the river banks, landmarks like Hidalgo Falls and the Washington Bridge connect Grimes and Brazos counties near the historic site of Washington. Education and community life are well-documented through a network of rural institutions, including Grange Hall School, Sand Prairie School, and West Academy, alongside small rail stops like Nelleva Junction and Millican.
