2011 Map of Bankston

About this map

Bankston and the surrounding Fayette County landscape are defined by a network of creeks and small settlements in this 2011 survey. The community at Bankston is anchored by the Bankston Post Office, while the neighboring rural areas of Stough and Cleveland maintain their historic character. The map reveals the local energy economy through the Bankston Gas Field and Berry Junction Gas Field, which are interspersed among the drainages of Deadwater Creek and the North River. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in burial sites, documenting local family and community history at Philadelphia Cemetery, Bethel Cemetery, Zion Cemetery, and Pleasant Hill Cemetery. Water features like Bugs Lake and the Fayette County Lake provide focal points for the terrain, while numerous secondary roads such as Morris Loop Rd and Hershell Henry Rd suggest a landscape shaped by decades of agricultural and resource-based development.
