1956 Map of Fairy

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The unincorporated community of Fairy sits at the northern edge of the Hamilton County hills, where local roads converge near the Fairy Cem and Martin Gap. This mid-1950s survey captures a landscape defined by ranching and small rural outposts, such as the small settlement of Lanham near the southern boundary. The terrain is notably marked by isolated peaks and promontories, including the Twin Mountains and Lone Mountain, which rise distinctly above the drainage basins of Meridian Creek and Sycamore Creek. Local landmarks like the Agee Ch and several named heights such as Paul Mountain and Stroud Mountain illustrate the family-centered geography of the era. The presence of a Gravel Pit and a major cross-country Pipeline near the Bosque County line indicates the small-scale industrial and utility infrastructure supporting the region during the post-war period.
