2016 Map of Cistern

About this map

The settlement of Cistern sits at the intersection of local routes, serving as a focal point for this rural landscape in Fayette County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages, including Live Oak Cr, Peach Cr, and Pin Oak Cr, which carve through the gently varying elevations. Smaller communities like Colony and Elm Grove further define the local settlement pattern, which is heavily oriented around family-named infrastructure and agricultural roads. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies several burial grounds including Robbins Cem, Rector Cem, and Psencik Cem. The presence of Buckners Creek Bridge and the sprawling Anchor Ranch Loop illustrates the transition from traditional farm-to-market paths to modern rural access. The boundary between Bastrop and Fayette counties crosses the northern section, marking a clear administrative division in this central Texas ranching and farming corridor.
