About this map

Central College and the Morrison Observatory anchor the community of Fayette, reflecting a deep educational and scientific history in the heart of Howard County. This mid-century landscape is defined by the winding course of Bonne Femme Creek and a network of rural schools and family burial grounds that speak to a stable, agriculture-based society. Notable landmarks such as the Golf Club and Fayette Lake show the intersection of town life and recreation, while the Gulf Mobile and Ohio tracks and a clearly marked Old Railroad Grade illustrate the shifting patterns of regional transportation.
