About this map

Tehuacana and the surrounding prairie of the Texas Blackland Belt are defined by an intricate network of water management features and creek systems along the Navarro Co and Limestone Co border. The landscape is dotted with numerous Soil Conservation Service reservoirs, such as Site 26 Reservoir and Site 15 Reservoir, which regulate the flow of Pin Oak Creek and Elm Creek. These engineering efforts transformed the agricultural viability of the region, supporting local communities like Union High and Rodney.

To the south, the terrain rises toward Bald Hill, overlooking the headwaters of Tehuacana Creek and Wolf Creek. Family history is anchored by the White Cemetery in the northeast, while the rural infrastructure is marked by a grid of farm-to-market roads and local county routes like FM 642 and FM 638. The map documents a modern era of rural land use where traditional cattle ranching and farming are supported by 20th-century water conservation infrastructure.
