2016 Map of Tehuacana

About this map

Tehuacana and the surrounding Limestone County countryside are defined by a complex network of springs and water management systems. The high ground of the Tehuacana Hills overlooks the historic Tehuacana Spring, while to the south, the Navasota River feeds into the significant reservoir of Lake Mexia. This 2016 survey illustrates how modern soil conservation has shaped the landscape with numerous catchments like the Soil Conservation Service Site 22 Reservoir dotting the drainages of Elm Cr and Jacks Cr. Genealogists will find interest in the proximity of Honest Ridge and the Honest Ridge Cem, alongside the Forest Glade Cem near the Mexia-Limestone County Airport. The settlement of Mexia anchors the eastern edge of this region, where the prairie begins its transition toward the river bottomlands.
