About this map

The Navasota River meanders along the eastern edge of this Brazos County landscape, forming a complex boundary with numerous wetland features like Big Slough, Flat Pond, and Goon Fishhole Slough. The area north of Bryan shows a transition from suburban expansion to rural reaches defined by family-named roads and historical sites. Genealogy researchers will find several well-marked burial grounds including Reliance Cem and the Stick Cem along Weedon Loop, as well as the Martins Prairie Cem near the southeast corner.

Water plays a central role in the terrain, with Wickson Cr and Brushy Cr cutting through the central sections. Landmarks such as Stewart Lake and Carr Lake sit east of the river in Grimes County, while the K Ranch Airport provides a point of interest for aviation history. The map also documents a dense network of local routes like Reliance Church Rd and Elmo Weedon Rd, which follow the original settlement patterns of the region.
