Looking for places to hunt around Angus? The Navarro County hunting map is really two maps: state-managed land plus the county's parcel boundaries. What this Navarro County guide covers: state sources for public ground, using the parcel viewer for boundaries, and getting landowner permission the right way.
The Navarro County hunting map: start here
For a parcel near Purdon, public hunting areas are mapped by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, including wildlife management areas and other access programs where they exist.
Getting to the right map
Go first to the Navarro County parcel viewer; it maps each tax parcel around Emmett and Goodlow. Without an address in hand, zoom in from Purdon and select the outline. For land near Angus, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; every clerk in the county will want it.
How land is described here
Rural deeds near Barry are often described by metes and bounds, a series of courses and distances from a starting point. Platted lots around Emmett refer to a recorded plat, making them easier to find. Keep the legal description for land near Purdon before you request a deed or survey.
Where the recorded documents are
Out toward Emmett, the map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements for parcels in the county sit with the County Clerk. For acreage around Chatfield, have ready the book and page from the tax record and the lookup takes minutes.
Private land and parcel lines
Parcel lines are approximate, so don't treat them as survey-grade near Chatfield; paint or posted signs on the ground matter too.
A quick look at the area
Corsicana is the county seat, home to the main records offices. Other places on the map include Angus, Barry, Eureka, and Frost. About 55,635 people live in Navarro County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across about 1,010 square miles. Navarro County was organized in 1846, and some chains of title near Goodlow are long.
Contacting owners
For a parcel near Chatfield, offer details: who you are, when you'd hunt and how to reach you, and respect a no.
Being a good guest
Respect livestock and crops around Goodlow, and tell someone where you'll be; owners remember good guests.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Chatfield, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Goodlow with its ID is a good backup.
Which office to call
For assessment questions about property around Frost go to the appraisal district, since that office keeps the assessment data. Questions about what you can build around Purdon are for the local planning and health departments, town or county, depending on location.
Before you lean on the lines
Closer to Eureka, listed acreage is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real boundary on the ground. For acreage around Kerens, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Rules and responsibility
Seasons, licenses and trespass laws are set by the state, and know your state's trespass rules for land around Frost.
Neighboring parcel maps
Navarro County borders Ellis County, Freestone County, Henderson County, Hill County, and Limestone County, all with their own assessor records. Acreage along the edge near Purdon may show up in two county records, so check the neighboring map before you assume the acreage. For acreage around Goodlow, our state page lists every neighboring county map across Texas.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
