About this map

Union High and the surrounding rural landscapes of Navarro and Limestone counties are captured here during a period of significant hydrological management. The terrain is defined by an extensive network of flood-control structures, including Dam No 15 and Dam No 26A, which create several areas of controlled inundation along Board Creek and its tributaries. These earthen works reflect the mid-century agricultural priorities of the region, designed to mitigate the erosion and flooding of the blackland prairies.

Local landmarks such as Shady Grove Ch and the White Cem provide anchors for genealogists and local historians, while the small settlements of Union and Rodney show the traditional rural layout before further modernization. The southern edge reaches the outskirts of Tehuacana, where the map documents industrial land use through localized Gravel Pits and a prominent pipeline corridor crossing the rolling terrain near Bald Hill.
