About this map

The Trinity River winds through this landscape on the boundary of Navarro, Ellis, and Henderson counties, defining a region of riparian bottomlands and agricultural prairie. Near the settlement of Rice, the landscape is dotted with local history markers including the Rice Cem and several rural burial grounds like Hooper Cem and the Chatfield Cem Memorial Number 1. The terrain is shaped by the hydrology of numerous tributaries, including Village Cr, Walker Cr, and Cottonwood Cr, which feed into the primary river system.

Water management is evident through the series of numbered impoundments such as Reservoir Number One, Reservoir Number Two, and Reservoir Number Five. A network of farm-to-market roads, including FM 1181 and FM 85, connects the dispersed homesteads and oil fields, as seen along Oil Field Rd. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and land use patterns in this corner of North Texas.
