2019 Map of Reliance

About this map

The Navasota River forms a winding, marshy boundary between Brazos and Grimes counties, anchoring a landscape of bottomlands and oxbow lakes. In the northwest corner, the small community of Reliance is situated near Wickson Lake, while the local topography is defined by the braided networks of Bowman Cr and Wickson Cr. This 2019 survey documents a mix of rural ranchland and emerging residential subdivisions, particularly evident in the winding roads south of Brooke Lake. Genealogy researchers will find the Stick Cem located along Wickson Cr, a notable point of local historical continuity. The area's aviation and recreation interests are represented by the K Ranch Airport and several substantial water bodies including Stewart Lake and Carr Lake. The presence of features like Goon Fishhole Slough and Big Slough highlights the complex drainage system typical of this Texas river valley.
