About this map

The crossroads of Carmine and the settlement of La Bahia anchor this detailed study of eastern Fayette County. The landscape is defined by its water management and agricultural heritage, featuring multiple reservoirs such as Schoenberg Lake, Moye Lake, and the large Soil Conservation Service Site 7 Reservoir. These engineered water bodies, often accompanied by structures like the Moye Lake Dam, illustrate the 20th-century transition toward soil and water conservation in rural Texas.

Genealogists will find several family-named landmarks and burial grounds, including Hartstack Cemetery, White Union Cemetery, and Carmine Cemetery. The local topography rises to notable heights at Homeymeyer Mountain and the White Bluffs, which overlook a dense network of creeks like Cedar Creek, Alum Creek, and Fourmile Creek. The map documents numerous rural roads, such as Lomax Harmel Rd and Schoenemann Rd, tracing the established land tracts of the region.
