About this map

Richland-Chambers Reservoir dominates the southern landscape of this Navarro County quadrangle, where the impounded waters of Cedar Cr and Crab Cr create a complex, finger-like shoreline. To the north, Lake Corsicana is formed by the flow of Chambers Creek, illustrating the extensive water management systems essential to this region. This 2016 survey captures the rural character of central Texas, highlighting small crossroads settlements like Mildred, Eureka, and Elm Flat that serve as local hubs for the surrounding agricultural lands.

Local history and genealogy interests are well-served by the inclusion of several community burial grounds, including Providence Cem near Mildred and the Elm Flat Cem. The infrastructure of the era is represented by the JTJ Ranch Airport and a dense network of farm-to-market roads and county routes, such as FM 637 and FM 1393, which connect these dispersed settlements across the creek-fed lowlands.
