1956 Map of Fairy

About this map

The small settlement of Fairy serves as a primary landmark in this mid-1950s survey of the central Texas uplands. Located along the county line between Bosque Co and Hamilton Co, the area is defined by the headwaters of the Meridian Creek system and its various prongs. Local life is anchored by landmarks such as the Agee Ch and the Fairy Cem, while the landscape is punctuated by isolated elevations including Stroud Mountain, Paul Mountain, and the Twin Mountains. The rural character of the region is evident in the scattered communities of Lanham and Roberts, connected by a network of unimproved roads and light-duty paths. A Gravel Pit near the southern edge of the map indicates small-scale industrial activity alongside the traditional ranching and farming uses of the terrain near Sycamore Creek.
