About this map

The Navasota River meanders along the eastern boundary of this Brazos and Grimes County borderlands area, defining a low-lying landscape of sloughs and ponds. Inland from the river, the small settlement of Reliance is situated near the intersection of Reliance Church Rd and FM 1179, surrounded by a network of rural routes named for local families such as Riley Rd, Shirley Rd, and Saxon Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Stick Cem south of the winding Wickson Cr. The river valley itself is marked by distinctive water bodies and drainage features including Goon Fishhole Slough, Big Slough, and Stewart Lake. Aviation interest is represented by the K-Ranch Airport in the northeast, positioned near K-Ranch Lake. This 2016 survey illustrates the ongoing rural character of the region, where legacy cattle operations like the C-6 Ranch Rd and Red Angus Rd sit alongside developing residential tracks.
