About this map

The Navasota River serves as the central dividing line in this mid-1960s survey, marking the intersection of Leon, Robertson, and Limestone counties. The landscape is dotted with small family and community burial grounds, such as McKenzie Cem, Sansom Cem, and Bumpurs Cem, which provide a detailed record of local genealogy in the rural areas surrounding Round Prairie. In the northeastern corner, the Little Flock Ch stands near the headwaters of Lambs Creek, illustrating the dispersed settlement pattern of the era.

Industrial and transportation infrastructure is concentrated along the periphery, with the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor cutting through the southeastern corner near Paddy Branch. The presence of features like Mine Branch and numerous creek systems, including Steele Creek and Birch Creek, suggests a landscape defined by its waterways and small-scale agriculture. This 1983 edition incorporates updated woodland data, revealing the evolving vegetation cover across the river bottomlands and adjacent hills.
