About this map

The Navasota River and its network of tributaries, including Mustang Cr and Board Cr, define the drainage of this Limestone County landscape. The area is characterized by small, established communities and agricultural crossroads, with the settlement of Prairie Hill serving as a central hub. Local history and genealogy are preserved in several community burial grounds, such as the Mount Antioch Cem and Billington Cem.

A network of county roads and farm-to-market routes like FM 339 connect disparate farmsteads and the hamlets of Delia and Watt. The surveyor's placement of cemeteries near established watercourses like Christmas Cr suggests a long-standing pattern of settlement that follows the natural breaks in the Texas terrain. The boundary between Hill County and Limestone County is visible in the northwestern corner, illustrating the administrative lines that divide this rural ranching and farming district.
